Posted on: Tuesday, September 2, 2025Sorry to read about Sharon’s passing. She was a lovely lady. My mom (Anita Parry) used to babysit Jeffery when he was a little boy. Whenever we would see each other she would always ask about my mom.

Posted on: Wednesday, September 3, 2025This is a recent picture that I have of Sharon, it always puts a smile on my face, we had such a great day out in the sunshine, on Carol’s patio that day…!!!
Sharon was always full of sunshine, even when she was suffering from life’s illnesses. She will be greatly missed .
We called her our dancing queen, She loved to dance, if the tunes were playing, Sharon was dancing…!!
Rest now my dear friend…no more pain and suffering, just dancing WITH THE STARS, and your family ABOVE..!
Love from Wanda

Posted on: Friday, September 5, 2025That’s a beautiful picture Wanda and exactly how I remember her. She really did love to dance. I had the pleasure of working closely with Sharon for a few years. Her sweet voice and beautiful smile will be missed very much. I hope you are dancing with your sister Sharon. With love, Faye.
