My thoughts and prayers to Sharon's family, friends and co-workers...she was one of a kind. A true treasured gift from God and will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.

Marti Gray-Davis of Clearwater Florida December 19, 2017
Sharon, you will be deeply missed. Your laughter and jokes made the trips to St. Pete more enjoyable and not seeing your face or hearing your voice will leave a deep void to Wednesdays for ever more. Rest in Peace Beauty. You will not be forgotten.

DONNY BROWN of ST. PETE DEPT. OF HEALTH December 19, 2017
Sharon was a great co-worker. She and I always had fun kidding each other when we sat across from each other in the cubicles in Disease Control. She will be missed. Everyone in Disease Control always has a good laugh whenever Sharon was around to cheer us up. May God keep his hand on the family during this time of Sharon's home going celebration. We may be sad to see her go, but there is joy in knowing we will see her again one day. Just look for her big white smile. She was loved by many. Rest in peace my sister until we meet again on that heavenly road.
