Martha, this is your former sister-in-law, Sharon’s aunt Phyllis.  One thing for certain, those Henry boys sure gave us some incredible children!  From the moment Brain called Kyle, our family has been praying for your family.  As a mother myself, I know that only God and His amazing grace can sustain you through this unfathomable loss.  I am picturing Sharon with John Paul, Jay, Herschel and Irene — and those are just a few of the many friends and family members celebrating her arrival in God’s glorious heaven.  Please know that my love and prayers are with you today and in the weeks and months ahead. 

It was so long ago that we met and became friends. There was so much laughter. Going to church, singing together, our trip to Eureka Springs and Branson....the unending giggles we shared. So many memories coming back that I haven’t thought of in years.  Sharon was such a bright light and  always had a smile. It’s hard to think of the words that can describe the feelings of this loss. You are loved and will be missed.

I had the pleasure of working with Sharon at St. Michaels. She was a sweet and kind hearted nurse.  She always had a smile on her face, she was genuinely a beautiful soul. My heart goes out to David and her daughters. Those 3 were her world. May God give her family and friends comfort during this difficult time. Sharon, you will be missed by so many.

Aunt Sharon you are going to be so missed. I just remember staying the night at your house all the time and I would always ask you to make me grilled cheese. She made the best grill cheese ever 😊. And for holidays I always wanted my banana pudding and she would make it for me. It just unreal that you have been taking from all of us so soon. Rest In Peace aunt Sharon I love you. 

So many memories so many laughs !! She wanted blonde streaks in her hair, ashley wanted to be a stylist so what could it hurt let’s try lol!! Well it was bad when I say bad real bad  instead of BLONDE it was ORANGE !! She couldn’t leave the house!! Wouldn’t lol 😂 and a course I told her it looks great 👍🏻 We cried we laughed we fixed it!! 

I am Tamaras' cousin/ best friend. Ms. Sharon always told me that she appreciates me for being there for Tamara & being a good friend to her. Whenever I saw her she would always have a smile on her face or would be laughing. Just want you to know Tam & Haley that I am here for both of you guys, I'm only a call away Always! Love you Tam. Rest easy Ms. Sharon, I got your girls.

Sharon was the most amazing woman that I ever had the pleasure of knowing. She sacrificed everything to provide for her daughters, they were her reason for being. She brought me into her life and shown me what true love was. She always gave more than she received. Words are truly meaningless when trying to describe how great she was. I will become a better man just so I may see her again one day.
My dearest love, you were my life. I love you forever and always.

I'm going to miss you cuz! I love you!
We had sleepovers, went to church together, family get-togethers, went to school together, laughed together, cried together & got in trouble together. I remember: it taking you forever to blow dry your thick hair, us eating pizza & watching movies, playing the piano in the dining room, sneaking out to meet boys, creating concoctions in the kitchen that were too awful to eat, our trip to Branson, camping out, staying with Uncle Bill & Aunt Ruth, us & Jamie hanging out. I remember: your energy, your loving heart, the way your eyes sparkled with joy & your laughter, I'll never forget your contagious laughter. It hurts to know you're gone from this earth because of what I'll miss in your absence, but what better place for you to be, than with our loving Father God in Heaven. What joy you must feel being in His presence! I'll see you on the other side, until then, I'll be missing you.

I didnt know her personally but i want Tamara and the family to know that they are in my prayers and that im here if they need anything.... Also remember a family that prays together stays together....... Rest In Love ..... And Fly High....

I have many memories of Sharon as a teenager and it’s hard to pick just one. She was so much fun to be around. Such a sweet, care free personality and as Tammy described her laugh, I couldn’t have described it any better except that her laugh was contagious! Prayers to you all and I am so sorry for the loss of this precious woman. 

My favorite memory of Sharon was at a camping trip at Elliot Lake when we were teens. We were riding a golf cart and singing 80’s Hair Band songs at the top of our lungs. Her long  curls were blowing wildly in the wind. Her laugh was like bubbles floating on air. Just silly and care-free-That is how I will always picture sweet Sharon.
