My prayers are with you all. In the short time I knew Sharon she was such a great encouragement to me during my time of grief. I know her presence will be greatly missed on this side of heaven. It always comforts me to remember that this earth is not my "home", that I am passing through and that my dear one is alive in Heaven at this very moment and someday we will join him there.

Your family has always held a special place in my heart. Some of my very favorite memories as a teenager are with your family. Sharon was like my Mama during my teen years and y'all my surrogate family...I love all of you and pray comfort and peace over each of you.

I've lost a special friend! Boy did we spend great times chasing kids at Wildwood! We could argue but still love one another! I am so Thankful I saw her not long ago! She will forever hold a special place in my heart!

Mike, Lauren and Leslie I met Sharon when her father in law was in treating @ FMC South Macon.She and I became very close and spoke often encouraging each other with the words of Jesus our LORD and Savior. She spoke lovingly of her family and more so the grandkids and wanted to spend as much time as she could with them. She told me she would not be here long, I guess I just did not want to believe what she was telling me.
She was at peace with whatever plan the Lord had for her life.
Rest in Peace my friend "to be absence from the body and be present with the LORD".

Sharon and I cleaned up so many messes as Beaverbrook PTA members -- we mopped floors, soothed parents. She was funny, smart, reliable in all things.
Leslie, Lauren, Mike -- she was the real thing.

Sharon was such a valuable member of the Beaverbrook PTA -- reliable, smart,insightful. We cleaned up a lot of messes -- not just movie nights! I respected her opinions, her kindness, and her dedication to her girls.
I'm sorry she's gone.
Marty Dunn, mother of Barron and Trevor Dunn.
Prayers for all of you.
