I was completely devistated to hear the news about Sharon today. I worked closely with her from 1982 until Squadron Headquarters closed in 1996.She was a great friend and a no nonscense lady. If you were a friend of her's it was for life. She always make you laugh whether you wanted to or not. Her children and grandchildren were her life. I'm sure Sharon, where ever you are you will be the hit of the party, just like you were here. You will be greatly missed. Just because you are gone you will not be forgotten.

I'm sitting here fighting through tears. I've lost touch with Sharon over the years and decided just this evening to reconnect with her to wish her and her family a happy holiday. Imagine my surprise as I Googled her name and learned of her passing just a few days ago. Sharon was a dear friend of mine and the godmother of my son. She was like family when we worked together in the Newburgh recruiting office on Broadway in the late 80's. No one was more fiercly loyal to the Air Force than Sharon. She was a mother hen to us recruiters and to a man (and woman), we thought the world of her. Sharon, may you rest in peace and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I was shocked to learn of Sharon's untimely passing. My memories of Sharon go back to the early 90's while working in Fishkill as an AF Recruiting Secretary. From her office in Newburgh she showed me the ropes. RIP Sharon I will miss you. My deepest sympathy to the Guadalupe Family.

Dear Jason and Family ,
For years your mother and I were on the same Shoprite schedule .It seemed that I would meet her weekly . We always had a nice chat about kids,work,and life in general. I can honestly say that I never ever heard her complain about anything. One of our last meetings was right before Halloween and she was worried that she would have enough candy to give out.I am very sorry for your loss,and I pray that you will always feel her loving arms around you.May God Bless and guide you and your family .

Although I met you briefly thru my husband Alex, we shared laughs and exchanged memories from Puerto Rico, which you visited often and enjoyed the warm weather and waters of Vieques. I will keep those memories in my heart and pray for your soul, which is now filled with the love of our Lord. God bless you.

I am sad to hear of the passing of my friend Sharon. She was one of the greatest voices of encouragement for me when I was stuggling with my recruiting in NY. I pray for her family and for those of us honored enough to call her a friend. She will be sorely missed.

I did not know Sharon a whole lot, but when I did meet her and talk to her a few times she was very nice. She was a very smart Air Force Recruiter and she showed the ropes to many. We need more people like her in this world.I want to express my sadness upon hearing the sad news. My heart and prayer go out to her family.

Words can not express my sadness on learning of the death of Sharon. I will always remember how proud she was of her family and her joy of having grandchildren. She taught myself and many others a lot about Recruiting in "A"-Flight. She would make me laugh about her love for Vieques, Puerto Rico and sharing her many stories.
God Bless you all Tom, Tim, Jason and your families. May God comfort each of you at this difficult time in your life.

We are sorry to hear of Sharon's passing - she has been a good old friend of ours for over 20 years. She was my saving grace when I first took the same job as her working in the Springfield MA Air Force Recruiting Supervisors Office - Sharon showed me the ropes - I will definitely miss her. She was a beautiful person.

Was really hard getting the news. I loved Sharon like she was a mother and she treated me like a son. She was so proud of her grandchildren and I loved how her eyes would light up whenever I brought my son into the office. I really wish I could be there. Your family will be in our prayers.

I am completely devastated to hear the news today. Sharon was a dear friend to all of (us) HER Air Force Recruiters. Although my memories of those days spent in A-flight have faded a bit since the early 90's, my appreciation for her has always remained very bright. What I remember most was how much she loved her boys! Our thoughts and prayers go out to her entire family.
