Sharon was a great Mother, grandmother and friend. She was a highly talented and intelligent woman. She made the best Chicago Chili. Sharon, you will be greatly missed. You are back home with your boy now.💗
I’m so sorry to see what she was going through. May God bless her & keep her in Heaven! She is now with Damion & reunited forever & ever!
I am very thankful for the many phone conversations that Sharon and I had beginning at the time when Aunt Sultana had some health issues about 5 years ago. Sharon reached out to me to see how Aunt Sultana was doing and that was how we began calling each other every few weeks. We talked about our families, about being the oldest of our siblings and shared how we helped our moms take care of our siblings. We shared with each other our Christian faith and our Conservative values and we talked freely about our concerns about the trials of our country. Sharon had a good sense of humor that shined through even though she had her own health issues and discouragement. She didn’t like talking about those issues but let me know when she had knee surgery and had me pray for her then. The last time I talked with Sharon she said she was in a lot of pain with her lower back and was going to get a back fusion. She didn’t tell me when that was going to happen and I didn’t know of her other health issues. I am sad that I didn’t get to pray for her before her back surgery. I am going to miss the conversations with Sharon. I know she is no longer suffering with her pain and is now with Damian, her parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles all who are in Heaven together. May Sharon rest in peace. Luvya bunches Sharon. ❤️🙏
