Shawquista, thanks so much for sharing. Sharon loved young people and she loved you. She would desire for you to continue to follow and serve God with all that is within you and to fulfill the destiny that God has designed for you. We love your mom and your family. God bless you and your family.
With love,

Memories are so important. I am remembering that this time last year Sharon was still with us. She wasn't feeling the best but she was still cheerful and joined in the Christmas family festivities. She is so very much missed from our gatherings. She will never be out of our thoughts. When I become over whelmed, I cry out to God. He alone knows how much Sharon is missed by all of us. She is spending Christmas with Jesus this year. It is heaven's gain. Praise God for our sister, confidante and friend. I will love you forever.

I still find it difficult to get my arms around the fact that this time last year, I was sitting next to you at the Thanksgiving dinner table. You looked so good. you were your normal soft-spoken, yet still hilarious self. When I think of the things for which I am thankful, your presence in my life will be one of those things. You might have been my aunt, but you were also my sister, my confidante and my friend. While I miss you beyond comprehension, it's a comfort to know that you are resting in the arms of your Heavenly Father. It's my desire to live for the Lord not only to rejoice with Him in eternity, but to see you again as well. Thank you for your example and strength, Frall. You are truly one of a kind.
Days like today, I would go to my phone and find a message from Sis. Sharon. I can still hear her say "Sister Tiff, watch what God is going to do!" Missing her dearly, but praising God for her rest.
It's not birthdays or holidays when I miss Frally. I feel her absence when Ive had a Spritual Breakthrough, have done something totally stupid (smile), or have new "Little Man" or Hannah and Courtney stories.
There are times when I just shake my head in disbelief that she is not just a phone call away. My heart breaks all over again.
BUT! I know that God is faithful. He promised that He would heal her and He did just that!
I have tried to close my eyes and imagine you dancing and worshiping God in heaven. That image helps my heart in those moments when your absence can be felt and heard by the deafening silence left by what would have been laughter and the abudant joy that you possessed. This year, there are no cards to buy for you, no cake to bake, no thunderous laughter from celebrating with you. Just silence and deep gratitude that you accomplished your greatest goal...to make it to your eternal home, heaven! So...at least I can say congratulations on your first birthday in heaven. God's grace has helped us to make it through the day, even as we remembered you and silently wished that we could have had one more birthday to share with you.
Lovingly you always,
Bab
sharon was a joy. I enjoyed sharing my birthday w/ her. I always wanted to call her first,because she always changed her voice like she was someone else and she was good. after much laughter we always Praise God for such a gift. Happy Birthday my Friend.
Hi Stephy, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As we approach your birthday, please know that we not only continue to celebrate Sharon's life, we celebrate yours as well. Have a wonderful birthday. While we are thinking about Sharon, we will think about you as well. Wishing you many blessed years to come.

God truly blessed our family when He gave us our sweet cousin Sharon. I know that you are at Our Fathers' feet and joyously praising Him. Thank you for your gift to me and for interceding in my behalf. I shall alway know that I have an angel in heaven waiting for me. I look forward, as you did, to meeting our Precious Father and Saviour. Know that Margaret, Karen, Bunny and Joe will be kept close to my heart and can count on Jack and I always.
Love, Always,
Frances
Sharon was loved by all our family. We shared many happy times. Our trip to New York stands out as a high point in our travels. She spend Christmas with us in our new home Dec. 2008. We had a precious time. God will heal our hearts. I am so grateful that Sharon was in my life and that she remains in my heart forever.

Sharon was so many things to me throughout the different times of my life. When I was younger, she was my auntie. When I was a young adult, she was a sister. Sharon later became my girlfriend and confidante. She had so much wisdom and joy in her life. Even when she was going through, she could muster up a smile, a silly story, and words that could inspire you to go on.
If I didn't have a loving Father in Heaven, I wouldn't be able to even write this. Sharon taught me how to praise through the pain and wait on God.
I thank God for allowing me to have the precious memories I had with Sharon. I will always be thankful for what she became to my husband and daughters. She impacted us all.
I love you Frall! I miss you so much!
Love always, Margie
Margie,
Your thoughts are so honest and special. What is so great is that we each share many of the same memories, and yet, for each of us, they are very personal and comforting. Continue the journey. Sharon is in that "great cloud of witnesses" cheering us on.
Your loving family
My girl Sharon was simple the best. I knew Sharon from my early years in Chicago growing up in Morgan Park Church of God. It was particularly in my pre teen and teenage years she took me under her wings and was my mentor, "big sister" and friend. Sharon and I stayed in touch through out the years. She lived life to the fullest with so much zeal, joy and laughter. Sharon had a special way in letting you know you were loved. Sharon loved the Lord and she spoke of His love often to me and so many others. I thank God for the life of Sharon, she was truely a tremendous gift in my life!
Love Always

Charis,
Sharon loved you dearly. Some of the best years of her life were spent mentoring the youth at Morgan Park Church of God. She was fun, witty and indeed, she loved the Lord with all of her heart. It was such a joy to see you at her homegoing service. Thank you for coming, and thank you for loving Sharon. We love you too, and pray God's choice blessings upon your life now, and always.
With love,
The Jackson Family
