I loved Sharon so much, as I do David, Brian and Katie. Sharon, I’m going to miss your chicken and dumplings that you would call me to come by and you would have me a big bowl fixed to take home with me! You were so special to me. You were the one I called for comforting words when I was facing any problems. Earth’s loss is Heaven’s gain. You will forever be missed.
I loved Sharon. We grew up together. She was a wonderful person.
Sharon and I graduated from La Follette High School in1971. I remember David too. Sharon was friendly. and always funny. I taught Katie at West La Follette. I remember her so well. Sweetest girl in the world. I was proud of Brian when he was on Jeopardy! He did a great job. I look forward to seeing Sharon in Heaven someday.
I, too, graduated with Sharon from LaFollette High in 1971 and I grew up playing baseball and later working with David at Furtex. Sharon always had a smile and something nice to say anytime I saw her in the hallway or classroom and she was an excellent student. We will miss her, but because of our faith, we know we will get to see her again.
