Ken and family, I didn’t know your Mother very well. The one thing I do know is that she was a good mother. Don and I extend our sympathy.
I worked with Sharon and her sisters at walmart till 2009. She was a hard worker and always had a smile on her face. She never let the worse get to her. I will always remember her when things got crazy or on a sunday night she would let out a weeee doggie (from the beverly hillbillies) and could do it as well as jed clampet.
I will always remember too on our breaks she would always tell me the latest news about her grandbabbies. she was a proud grandma, any one who knew that could tell.
Sharon was someone who you could always count on. She was never judgmental or would criticize you. No matter what she was going through she would have a smile on her face and a funny saying to make you laugh. She was a great aunt, and she helped me through a time when I was going down a wrong road and helped to get me back on the right road. Sharon will be truly missed. We love you.
For over 10 years you all have been my family. Sharon was an amzing woman. I will miss her so much. I’m so sorry for your loss. As I would always say to her when I saw her “I love you Mom.” You will always be in my heart and NEVER be forgotten. The hardest thing to think about is that you will not be here for me anymore. But you have shown me so much, so Thank You.
I met sharon a couple of times.She was a wonderful lady always smiling.Our hearts and prayers go out to her family.May she rest in peace,Mark & Kim send there condelences.

May the passage of time ease the pain of your loss. Your mom will always be in your hearts and gazing upon you.
Although I wasn’t real close to your family, I still want to say I’m sorry for your loss. At a very young age, but you will be fine if you look to God.. Aunt Jeanette

I have many memories of working with Sharon at Walmart. One that will always make me smile is remembering Sharon, Daphne and Ingrid laughing and teasing each other while doing puzzles at lunch. They could always make me smile even when the work was hard. Sharon we will miss you!
