Dr. Sharon Lynn Jackson Tribute

Someone reminded me that this time two years ago, you were admitted to the hospital. And three weeks later you were gone. We do not grieve as those who have no hope, yet, your death still seems so fresh.  And while you are so near in my heart, some days...that just doesn't seem to erase the tears.  A new season of joy is beginning.  That is what God desires, and what you would want as well.  Keep enjoying your heavenly home. In His time, we will all join you there, our true home.

Loving you always,

Bab

Dr. Sharon L. Jackson was born in the "Windy City", Chicago, Illinois on a lovely fall day.  She was an excellent student and she was in turn an excellent teacher.

Sharon attended John D. Shoop Elementary School, Morgan Park High School (both in Chicago, IL), The University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa, and finally, Wayne State University School of Medicine.

Sharon's career path included: Cytology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Fraud Specialist for J. P. Morgan Chase .  Every task that Sharon put her hands to was done with excellence.

If anyone loved life, it was Sharon.  She loved extravagantly, gave generously, worked and played hard and fair, and she forgave quickly.  Sharon modeled what it really means to be a Christian.

Her eyes were kind, her were words encouraging, and her smile was beautiful, captivating the attention and hearts of those in her presence.  And though her time on earth seemed far too brief for those of us who loved her, we are most grateful that we were blessed to have had her in our lives at all.  She will forever remain in our hearts and minds, and one day...we will see her again, more alive and beautiful than ever!
