I met Sharon 30 years ago as a new teacher at Andrews High School. She immediately tuck me under her wing and served as a mentor to me. I am so saddened by this news and my prayers for Jerry and all family members. Heaven got a good one this week!

Sharon was a beautiful friend and neighbor growing up together in South Pittsburg. We had so many evenings together at my home. My Mom loved her. She was always active in sharing her creative writing talents. She has been blessed with Jerry and family. She has always been a blessing to her friends.
