You'll truly be missed. Enjoyed working with you. Be at peace.
I met Sharon when I first started in the College of Nursing in 1996, then later starting working with her again in the College of Arts and Sciences at ETSU. She was such a wonderful, smart, funny knowledgeable lady. If you ever needed an answer to any question, Sharon was the one to go see. She is dearly loved and will be greatly missed by us all!
I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers in the
coming days for peace and understanding

I worked with Sharon as a student worker for the better part
of a year. I honestly learned so much not just about school
but as a person from her. She taught me how to be a better
Christian and so much about the Lord on a daily basis. As I
think about what to say, I don't think there's enough words
to describe the incredible woman she was. Her laugh was
contagious and her smile was welcoming. From the first day
of working for her, she made me feel so at home. She often
talked to me about things for hours on end. She never did
not have time for her students. I will miss her dearly, and
will continue to think of her and the lessons she taught me
daily! As she told me often, we are family here and I love
you all like I love my own family! I love you Sharon, thank
you for everything! I know you are with our Savior, and no
longer in pain!
Our love and prayer go up for John and Johnny!

So sorry for your loss. I met Sharon many years
ago when I student taught at David Crockett. She
was a special student and so enjoyed her. Years
later we reconnected at ETSU where we both worked
and it was always a joy to run into her and talk
to her. God bless you during this difficult time.
Heaven's gain is definitely a loss here on earth

So sorry for your loss.
Prayers for the family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Please tell John that I am so sorry
and that I will be thinking of him. Mrs. Stoots called me
because I have been out of town. If I can be of any help,
please call.
Sharon was one of the nicest people on campus and
was always helpful to those of us in IT when we
needed something. I was so very shocked and
saddened by this news. To the family, friends and
her ETSU folks, please accept my heartfelt
sympathies and condolences.
John Jr. and John,I am so sorry to hear of your
loss. It breaks my heart. I am praying for GOD to
surround you both with HIS great love and
comfort.My heart goes out to you both, and to the
rest of the family as well.Love in Christ
Jesus,Helen

John, We are praying for you and John Jr.
Gone from us too soon. There are many happy memories from years ago, the times we had in Hutcheson Hall. Sharon's curly red hair matched her determination and courage. I admired her. She was always organized, smart and energetic. She was a beautiful person inside and out. To Sharon's family, I am very sorry.
Sharon was an amazing woman that will be missed. I loved
her like my sister and best friend ever.
