Tasa, Chad & families~
So sad to hear of your mom’s passing. She was a wonderful person, and had a huge influence on me in high school. She was always a bright light in my day, and I just loved visiting with her. She fed us well, and always wanted to hear all about our plans. She’d say, “What are you two crazy kids up to now?” It was her priority to ensure that we were safe, warm and never hungry. She was always a kind and compassionate person, and she will be greatly missed.
Love & Prayers, April

I first met Sharon when I started working for the school district in 1993. I had the privilege of waiting on her at the pharmacy. No matter how she was hurting, she also had a smile for me and we shared many hugs. I will miss her and I am so sorry for the family’s loss.

Bobby, Donna, Leon, Joe & Families:
I was so sorry to hear of Sharon’s death. I’ll always remember walking to HJHS on Rodney Street and seeing the beautiful “Belville Twins” and never being able to figure out who was who.
It’s never an easy time of year to lose a loved one but hopefully, you’ll be able to fill your hearts with many wonderful, happy, moments that Sharon’s all too short but beautiful life have given to you all.
My deepest sympathies and love, Penney Eathorne Sey
