Richard, Larry and family…..
Carol and I are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts go out to you during this very difficult time. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Wishing you comfort and strength in the days ahead.
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. She was an amazing woman and will be surely missed.
What a special woman. We love you all and are praying for you during this time of deep loss.
Mrs.Erwin was my teacher in Glen Arden many years ago. She was the sweetest lady. I also knew her children who would come into the class before I went out to car riders I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
So sorry to hear of Mrs Erwin’s passing. I knew her as Ricky’s mom, Coach’s wife, and church member. Prayers for the entire family for comfort, support, strength, and healing.
Love and prayers for her family and friends ❤️
My deepest sympathies to Richard and the family. Sharon & Richard were classmate friends @ AB College & later at UNC- Asheville.
Heaven has another angel. The Testo family had fond memories of Sharon on and off the soccer field and volleyball court. She was a role model for everyone she came in contact with. Love to the family.
I was a co worker with Mrs Erwin at West Buncombe Elementary. Such a lovely and fun lady! I will be praying for her family.
Richard and family, Sharon was a precious lady and we had a good times during school spending time at her mom & dads home and my family also. We had been friends for years. The last time I saw her was at our class reunion. I pray that God will give you all peace as you know Sharon entered the gates of heaven. There will be a day that you will see her again. My prayers are for you and the family. Jim & Mary Frances Nelms
Sharon and I were at LHEHS and I remember how she had such an infectious smile. I was glancing at The Hillbilly 1963 yesterday and saw her photo. We didn’t keep in touch all these years, but God blessed us with marriages, children and grandchildren. Sharon is with God and praying all her family and friends know she is at peace. God bless all and the memories you have of this wonderful woman.
Sharon and I were good school friends. I enjoyed running into her from time to time out shopping or having lunch. Our friendship goes back a long way. She was a sweet person. We even shared the same birthday. HUGS
Sharon holds a special place in my heart and memories We had lots of fun in school from Hall Fletcher, Lee Edwards and UNC Asheville. Good times.
