It's taken me a year to collect my thoughts on this. You never really think about how hard it is to lose someone who you've always taken for granted would just be there forever. She was there all the time, at every holiday and when she wasn't physically there, she was just minutes away. It just seemed like wherever I was, she was there too. When a person is such an integral part of your life, they become like an arm or some fingers and you don't realize they're even there until they aren't. You never realize how hard every day will be without them because you can't even imagine never having them. This is how life was with my grandmother. There are countless memories of her. Sometimes I feel bad because I can't even recall them all. She was there for all of my biggest achievements, and it's hard to come to terms with the fact that I still have so many which I will have to enjoy without her. Good things and bad things came and went, but she was always a there still. I expected it to become easier with time, but it never really did. I miss her so much. I know she's in a better place and for that I am thankful. I'm happy for all she taught me and the endless amounts of love and joy she shared with me. I will always cherish swinging in her back yard, or making cookies in the kitchen with her. I'll never forget how scared she was when we hid in the closet during the hurricane or the fun we had living together afterwards while our house was being rebuilt. I remember having a birthday parties there and gardening with her. I hated picking the weeds, but I loved being with her. She loved working in the yard so much. I will hold these memories and photos close until the day we get to see each other again.

I only met Mrs. Hunt once but I know her son very well. Judging by his character, compassion for others and his love of Christ, his Mom raised him well. I know he loved her very much and he is heart broken with her loss. I only pray that he will find comfort in knowing that she is with the Lord and that he will be with her again someday. I also pray that he will lean on those around him who love him and gain strength and encouragement from us.

I was her shadow, she was my Aunt and Friend. She took me to see all the interesting places: the cows, the calves, the pigs, the tractor shed, the hens, and let me pull a carrot from the garden to wash and eat for a special treat. The family circle is filling fast in heaven.

Sharon and I worked together at FFCC she was a very kind and gracious woman. She will be greatly missed by all.

I have always held Sharon in the highest regard as a mother, co-worker and community member. Her passing is a great loss. My most sincere condolences.

I worked with Sharon at FFCC. She was a wonderful woman. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

My heartfelt condolences to the family during this difficult time. Sharon was a wonderful lady of tremendous strength and I know she was greatly loved. Treasure your memories.

I was so sorry to hear of Sharon's passing. Although it has been a number of years since we attended FBC I remember vividly her contributions to the music ministry of FBC and it was a privilege to have been a small part. My sympathy to her family. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Such a beautiful and kind lady; a women of God. We were so blessed to be able to spend a few days with her couple years ago about this time of year. What a gracious host. She loved her children; you guys are blessed with a godly example. Let us all strive to uphold the faith she and her family exhibitted. Joel

Vicki and I will treasure the memories of Sharon's faithfulness to the music and worship ministry during our time at FBC Port Charlotte. She was gracious, kind, and exhibited a Christ-like attitude.

My prayers go out to Sharon's family and friends. I worked with Sharon at First Federal when I first moved to Charlotte County 25 years ago. She is one of the nicest people I had the privilege of working with. May she rest in peace.

We will always have a beautiful memory of Sharon. Our loss and Heavens gain. Gods' Blessings with the family. Joe and Susan Marchese

I am sorry for your loss. Sharon was a wonderful woman and I am honored to have know her as a friend in life, in Sunday School, and choir member. I loved it when she played the organ and led others in playing the bells. She was a gifted person blessed by God. I am sorry I can not be there at this time. My prayers are with the family at this time of your loss.

Sharon will be missed for her beautiful smile and years of service to the music ministry at First Baptist Church! She has been a blessing to many. You have our sympathy. Love to Denise, Marsha and Kenton.

I will remember always Sharon's gentleness and patience. I am proud to have called her my friend.

Marsha, We are so sorry for your loss. Grateful that The Lord will be your comfort through this season. Our prayers are with you, Jim and the rest of your family. We know that He will walk with you through this time. Rickey and Lisa

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
