Sharon was a beautiful soul both inside and out. She was always there across the street from my Grannies house, never aging, always offering a prayer and kind words. Today my heart and prayers are with the family. God got a new angel.
Sharon was beautiful inside and out and loved her Lord and Savior. She shared Jesus with all she met. I was her neighbor growing up and she gave me my first job babysitting Jenny and the boys. I know you will miss your momma so much but we can see her again if we know Jesus as our savior. So thankful and blessed to have known Sharon.
where I was employed.
She was always a pleasure to to help…
A beautiful lady with a wonderful personality.
Deepest condolences to all who loved her .
Coy and I are praying for all of you and your families. I know you’re hurting but have peace knowing Sharon is dancing in Heaven. We send lots of love, hugs and prayers for all of you plus our deepest sympathies.
God has a new angel!
Please accept our deepest condolences. Days, months and years ahead will be rough but through Gods tender grace, we all survive. Grateful for all our wonderful memories. Be strong.
I send love and prayers to all of her family! Ellen Swigart and also on behalf of Ammy, Dr. Joy, Dena, Raymond, and many other CUFI travelers. P.S. I have a couple of photos I could email but wasn’t able to copy and paste here.
Such a sweet and loving soul!! Her life was filled with love.. love for her family.. and all of God’s children. I know she will be missed here, BUT.. there is joy and happiness on the other side! And in the blink of an eye her loved ones here will join her. May God bless and keep all in her family.. and ask not “Why has she died.. BUT (I am sure) Sharon would have you ask.. “Where is she.. and how can I be there with her?” She loved Jesus and wanted everyone she met to know His love.. just as she did!!
Till we meet again, Sharon!
May the Lord strengthen you through this time of your loss!
