I am so thankful for the wonderful part that Sharon had on my life. She was very perceptive and spoke truth into my life many times. She and Bob were a lifeline for me in a time of crisis and I have thanked the Lord many times for intersecting our lives in an unexpected way. I rejoice in her being with our precious Lord.

You will be deeply missed especially by your husband, my dad. I know you are no longer in pain and are now walking and talking with Jesus. Thank you for being a good wife and a wonderful mother to your sons. Rest In Peace!! With Love - Your Step-Daughter, Tracie
