Sharon and Wally were kind, caring and funny people. We enjoyed fellowship and laughter when they were in Tellico Plains. May God fill the hearts of those who loved them with spirit, peace and joy. She will be missed as is Wally.

To Shannon, Matt, and family: I have known Sharon for a very long time. She had such a love for her Lord and made a mission to serve Him. For 20 years after Dan, my husband passed away, she never missed contacting me to send her love on the anniversary of his death and also my birthday which I share with you, Shannon. I will really miss her! I'm so sorry that I didn't know she was ill, but do know for sure that she is in the arms of Jesus! Sending my love to all of you.

Sharon has been a good and faithful friend to me since our middle-aged children were little. I treasure all the times we served at church together and supported one another during hard times. She blessed me as a Christian sister for so long. I will miss her, but will celebrate with her in Heaven.
