  2. Mrs. Sharon was a special lady. I met her when the Woolsey Wanderers, our Senior Adult Group from Woolsey Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Georgia would come to Senior Citizen events At The Cove. Every time I would go, I would ask is she coming and would look her up. I loved and will miss her. We will see her again in Heaven someday. Sending love and prayers to the family.

  9. Dearest family, I know you will eventually have wonderful sweet memories of your Mom and Sister. Sharon was such a dear friend. She was always so strong no matter what she faced. Such a spiritual person and so very sweet. She always made me laugh. Her laughter was contagious. I am holding on to the sound of her laughter. I loved her so much. I’m praying for each of you that you will find peace in God’s love for you just as Sharon did.

  10. I loved her so much, as honored to be at her services at Grasdy Branch Church where I grew up. Truly she is with God as she,was welcomed when she got there. Prayers are with all of you & I shall see her again in that new body one day soon.
