Just saw this announcement and wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to Sharon's extended family. I worked with her at USAID from 2002-2009. She was my direct assistant from 2006-09. She was aways fun and very well grounded in her faith. She shared some of her life challenges but always ended our conversations with the strong belief that God and Jesus Christ would help her to manage through them. I have no doubt she is in heaven now. I was proud to have worked with her.
May God Bless Sharon.

I am so sorry to hear of Sharon's passing. We worked together at USAID for a number of years. Sharon was one of the most giving and caring persons that I knew. She remembered birthdays and was always sending cards and notes even after my retirement. I had tried to connect with her in recent years but was unable to do so. I am confident in knowing that she is now with her dear brother whom she loved dearly. Praying for her family and loved ones. May the memories of the times you shared continue to strengthen and give you comfort in the years ahead.

My aunt Sharon is the one who is responsible for my love of travel and England. She was way ahead of her time. I'm thankful for the memories and hope she watches and prays over our family.
