Two beautiful souls which will be deeply missed.
She was my best friend, she was a wonderful mother, wife, friend, daughter, and sister. I pray that her daughter can find peace and understanding to this tragedy that I cannot understand. Sharon had a big kind heart and I will miss her very much. This message is to those who didn't know her. She was very dedicated to her family and to God. May she RIP.
