At Jonesboro (AR) High School, Sharon was an
exceptional student, an exemplary friend, and an inspiration to many of
us. Among her many honors,
Sharon was voted by her peers as "Most Likely to Succeed". And
succeed she did--at touching countless lives in myriad ways. I feel honored
and humbled to have known her. Sharon's children and grandchildren should be
very, very proud of her legacy. |

After more than fifty-five years of friendship, I
can't imagine my life without Sharon. She was the best friend that anyone
could ever have. I learned so much from her over the years. She was such an
inspiration. She will be in my heart forever. My thoughts and prayers are
with her loved ones. May God give you strength and comfort knowing hers was a
life well-lived, and she is at peace. Love, Barbara Hall |
