Sharon was a good friend. She sent me many issues for her family. I knew that she retired, but her death is shocking news. I really appreciated your friendship, Sharon.

A beautiful lady with a beautiful heart. I enjoyed attending retreat and being on team with her. We had a bond of being a mother to a "special" child. I will always remember her kindness and her smile. Until we meet again....

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I enjoyed working with Sharon for the few years I knew her. She was a fun person to be around. She and George used to crack me up with their jokes towards each other. There was always something about the parking lot they joked about, and Sharon would just laugh and laugh. She will be missed.

I never got to meet Sharon in person but she was such a delight to work with (long distance). I'll be thinking of her and take comfort in knowing she is now resting peacefully.

What an honour and a privilege to have known and worked alongside Sharon. She was a fun loving and compassionate person and her love for her family and friends puts her on a very high pinnacle. Bill and I will remember her for her sincerity and friendship and she will be sadly missed. Her loyalty to the Taylor family will never be forgotten and our love and prayers go out to you all in this very sad time
