I remember Sharon as a devoted mother. She always put her children first. I am so sad to hear of her passing. She was so much fun and livened up our work place. She will be missed by so many.

To Sharon's family and to all who loved her, I am falling short of words to express my deep sorrow on the sudden passing of our dear Sharon, I met Sharon when they moved into the S2 building and I lived in the K2 building in Craven Terrace. But by time we entered into high school there was a group of us, Katrina Buck, Pamela Clark, Edna Williams (RIP), Joann Clark, and myself ( Hermine Ernul), I can still recall it like yesterday all the crazy things we did, ok everyone your secrets are safe with me, skipping classes hanging out at West Craven High School, on Friday nights sneaking to the Hidey Ho Club, and having Mark Best to make sure we were safe he was our bodyguard.. the sleep overs at Pam and Joann aunt Carolyn's house, hanging out at Glenburnie Park, stuffed in Edna car and Pam and Joann mustang sitting on each other's laps because there was no room. ( ok your secrets aren't safe with me) after we graduated we all went our separate ways, some went off to college while others married and started families, But I always welcome seeing Sharon at every opportunity because she was so kind and was always quick to compliment you.. Sharon was a friend to all and not only that she was a GRADUATE to one of the greatest classes THE CLASS OF 1975 !!! YOU REST IN PEACE Sharon Denise Barnes-Brown. ( written with a heavy heart ) There are no goodbyes Milton and Hermine Ernul Lovick ( Virginia Beach, Va )

I remember Sharon as a Devoted and Loving Mother who through visits to the hospital with Devin became a dear Friend to me. I am so saddened by the news of her passing. Devin and the rest of the Family and Friends I pray that God will grant you all the strength to deal with this most terrible of times. Know that you all are in my Thoughts and Prayers.

To Sharon's Family, it seems as though we've been sending more condolences in the past month that we wished we didn't have to do. There are little words to convey to you during this difficult time of sadness. We will miss Sharon; our hearts are heavy. We fondly remember all the fun and good times we shared together since our youth which started in our village, Craven Terrace. Another 1975 Classmate has been called home and we are forever saddened.
