Sharon was one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever met. I always enjoyed working beside her at Home Depot. She will be missed by all her family and friends.
My mother was literally one of a kind. She lit up the room when she entered. She loved the Lord with all of her heart. She was a very strong and brave woman. By following her example her 5 daughters are strong and brave women too. I will love you forever mommy.
