Condolences from another PML friend. I met Sharon through karaoke, and then it turned out we were neighbors. I cannot claim to have known her very well, but I do know that she was very bright, had a nice soprano voice, and had a great love of living. It's really hard when someone so full of life is cut off so abruptly.

My thoughts will be with Sharon's family and friends during this sad time.

February 26, 2015

Oh no...this will hurt for a while. I was so shocked when I heard. Sharon was always so fun and energetic. She was one to keep in touch as well as she could and was instrumental in keeping our gang from 3COM in touch with each other. I will miss her dearly...and funny thing, I can still hear her singing her karaoke, as she was so good at and at least I have that memory :).

I am so deeply saddened by Sharon's sudden passing. We had just spent the evening with her and Tom at karaoke in Pine Mountain Lake & were hoping to have dinner together in early March. It was always a treat for us when she was able to come to karaoke up here and share her beautiful voice and love of singing.

Sharon was such a sweet spirit and a classy lady. My sincere condolences and prayers for strength to her family during this most difficult time.

God bless Sharon and all who loved her.
