We had such great times together, laughing and enjoying life, children and work. I loved her like a sister. She would be so proud of her girls and what wonderful people they have turned into. I know she sees all. Her grandchildren would mean the world to her. I love and miss you Sharon.

My sincere condolences to the Painter family. I had the pleasure of knowing Sharon as she was the bus driver for my daughter, Julianna for 2 years. She was very caring and thoughtful and you could tell she really enjoyed the children. I have often thought of her and wondered how she was doing and just saw the notice in today's Geauga Times Courier. I am so sorry for your loss. She has done her angelic work on Earth and now God has called her home to watch over her loved ones. God Bless.

Sharon was beyond my words. She stood up for me in Vegas when I got married, she made me laugh when I wanted to cry. Her children are lights of my life (even if we live far away from each other) We had special times together. My memory list is too long to list here. Enough to say that she was an angel here on earth and now she is an angel in heaven. Her pain and suffering has been replaced by the glories of being with God. She will be missed by many I love you Sharon.
