Sharon, words cannot describe how truly heartbroken I am. I still remember when we met in freshman year science class in 1994. I was terrified that I wouldn't make any friends but you and I had several classes together and so much in common that we soon became inseparable. People used to ask us all the time if we were sisters! I'm so grateful I had you to help me go through those awkward teenage years. I'm so glad we kept in touch here and there after high school and once again you were by my side during some of the biggest events in my life, like when I became a wife and mother. Good friends are very hard to come by, but you were definitely one to myself and many others, even if I didn't always deserve it. I'm going to miss you. Our circle of friends will never be the same but I hope and pray that one day we will be reunited again. Love always, Erin

Sharon you will be so missed by all that knew and loved you. Your smile could light up a room. But your "mad" face was very humorous. Chris, Gary and Bohnny you are in our hearts and prayers today and the days that follow. We love you

My condolences to the Stay Family. Sharon was truly loved by family, friends and God. I know this is a difficult time but keep in mind all the wonderful times. We're all waiting to be reunited with our dear love one. Jesus reunited Lazarus with his sisters. He can do the same for you. Take care.

Sharon, I just wanted you to know that in the 8 short months that I knew you, there is an indelible mark on my heart from your friendship. God placed you in my life when I needed a friend the most. Your laugh and bright smile will be terribly missed. RIP sweet Angel.

Sharon, I just wanted you to know that you touched my life in just the 8 short months that I knew you. You were always so encouraging and such a great listener. I spent everyday at work learning from you and building a beautiful friendship with you. You truly were the best boss I've ever had. You have left an indelible mark on my heart and you will be terribly missed. RIP my sweet angel.

Sharon, it hurts so much to lose you. I wish we'd spent more time together. You always made me laugh and smile and I admire your faith. You are rejoicing now with our Father and one day I'll see you again. Then we can talk for hours and rejoice together. You are so loved. So so loved by so many. RIP

I hadn't know Sharon for very long but in the short time I had with her she left a lasting impression. Her smile and laugh were infectious and her love for her family, friends, and god was admirable. She will be strongly missed but forever remembered.

Sharon, we have not been friends long. Working with you has been the best experience of my life. I have never had a boss that I loved. You ARE a beautiful person- mind, body, and soul. You will NEVER be forgotten, I still hear your laugh and picture your smile. Sharon, you lit up the room with that smile! I was not ready to let you go, but God was ready to take you home. I will see you one day, I have so much to tell you. Until then I will hold you in my heart, my dear friend.
Love, your Sammy Boo
