Geneva, Tiera, Ronald and Family,
My heart aches with the transition of our beloved classmate and friend Jonathan "Lang" Sharrow. He was the kindest and most caring person I have ever met! He always saw the best in everyone! That ready smile was priceless. As we lost Josey Love and Daddy he was the shoulder for me to cry on! Jonathan was the BEST!
Our Class of 1976 has a void for sure! I appreciate his love of Jesus Christ, his Geneva, Tiera, family and friends. I praise God for the loan and take comfort in knowing Jonathan is Safe in HIS Arms!

With Deepest Sympathy, Rev. Dr. Carl E. Williams, Sr., First Lady Annette H. Williams & First Peter Baptist Church Family

Lang, you left us in shock man! We spoke last Saturday and you were sounding good and said you were feeling better, had me feeling good and now you're gone but that's how God works right. So many memories of our child hood together, from putting our money together to buy that one donut or cheeseburger at Hardee's to split to learning to swim in the Edisto River - you were always there for me to talk too. Some things are constant in life and Lang's kindness and genuine caring for people was one of those. No matter what was said or how bad the situation, Lang always tried to see the good in others and always believed everyone deserved a chance. We will miss you but God is in control and I know you'll be ok. After a lifetime of friendship, it is very difficult to say goodbye. Our deepest sympathy to your family. Rest in peace my brother until we meet again! Love Terry and Angela Mintz

My heartfelt sympathy to the entire Sharrow Family. We all grew up together. I am deeply sadden for the loss. May God continue to bless all of you. Love, Gwen Mintz Sweeney

My condolences goes to Geneva . Only time will heal your sorrow and I am praying for peace to replace any of your heartaches. He will be dearly missed by many especially me.

I will continue to pray that God will bless the memories your heart holds. Wishing you strength and comfort during this difficult time, Keely

I only knew Jonathan for a short while. I am sure to miss discussing documentation of lot codes and putting covers on his buckets. He would say "Ms.. Linda I knew you were coming ( with a laugh) closing with "I'm going to do it". I promise, MS. Linda you be on it!: ( with a laugh) We at the plant will miss him certainly, as he journey with the Master, in His hands. Farewell my friend for now.
