To the family of Sharon Goodman, I know Sharon went to soon but that was all apart of God's plan for her. I still remember her beautiful smile and I always enjoyed talking to Sharon. Right now she's looking down at everyone and she see and knows you're okay. Thank you Lord for allowing us to borrow Sharon for as long as you did. We give you glory and all the praise.

I am so sorry to see this. Sharon and I were good friends in high school. Would run in to each other every now and then. She ALWAYS had that beautiful smile on her face every time I saw her. I will always remember her kindness. Some people have that special way of `leaving a mark´ in your life and believe me, she certainly did! May God be with her family in the days to come.
