Sharon Kay Davis

As I sit here this morning at my sister's computer, I never thought I would be writing her obituary. She was my best friend and I can't imagine life without her. Sharon was the most beautiful person I have ever known.

Night before last sitting around the pool with family and friends there was the biggest heart-shaped cloud; we watched until it finally faded away.

This morning I went into Sharon's bathroom and saw a picture of an angel that I had given her and it reads: "Chin up Buttercup – Don't let anyone ever dull your sparkle". It was as if she was saying the words to me this morning.

Sharon made the world a better place; she always knew what to say, she always knew what to write and now she is showing us signs that life is not over, that she will always be with us in spirit.

Memorial services to celebrate the life of Sharon Kay Davis will be held Saturday, July 27, 2013 at 1:00 PM at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, 1500 N Capital of Texas Hwy, Austin, TX 78746, with Reverend Janne Osborne officiating.

"Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must also be sunlight. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us." ― Brian Jacques, Taggerung
