Ms.Janice and I was born on the same Day. Ever year we would call each other and talk she would always say the date is the same but the years are different. I would say that is ok. I hope I will live to be your age. So rest my birthday friend and on that special day I will always think about you.

To the family of Mrs Janie Sharpe. I have many memories that I can think back on from the time I first met her up until the week before God called her home. She was always a loving and caring person she didn't treat me and my sisters like a stranger but always as a friend. With her soft spoken voice she would always offer us something to eat or drink. She always told me she loved me when I told her that I loved her. She will truly be missed but never forgotten. Family old on to God's unchanging hand and continue to trust in him. The Family of Evelyn Moore Sharpe, Carrie Hilliard, and Martha Mooreโค๏ธ

Love and Prayers for her girls and family. So many memories is coming back to me. It all started at Tar River School in Nash County, that's where we leaned each other. I'm three years older than Romaine and Loraine, my baby sister came along with them. I remember Mrs. Sharpe and her husband, they were always kind, loving and respectful people. I pray that the Lord will continue to give you all strength and comfort during and after this time of loss. We will continue to keep memories of Mother Sharpe in our hearts. Love, Joan (June Davis).
