CondolencesThe following condolences were left by family, friends, and loved ones of Sharon J. Willey.
WOW! I am so sorry to hear that such a wonderful, caring and loving person such as Sharon left this world already! I hope all of you are handling this ok! I miss all of you and hope that the days ahead get easier for you knowing your mother is in a wonderful and peaceful place! I wish I could give all of you a big hug right now but it won't work out for me to be there so consider this my hug to you. Please keep in touch! Love, Deb and family Debbie and Robi McDowell Dear Rollie and Family As former co-workers and friends of Sharon, we definetly know that God takes only the best. Sharon will truly be missed by all that have ever known her! Our prayers and thoughts are with you! Lindy and Cherie Freel Lindy and Cherie Freel Dearest Rollie and Aunt Juanita and Family, Words cannot begin to express our sorrow. May the Peace which comes from the memories of Sharon Jean, of loved shared, comfort you all now & in the days ahead. Like a bird singing in the rain remember the good times and may those times survive in your time of sorrow. Let your tears flow & with each tear know a note of love & a blessing is being released into Heaven above. She is now forever young & cancer free, free of pain and on her new journey. May you take comfort in knowing that she is your Angel watching down over you today, tomorrow & always. When we lose a loved one it seems that time stands still, we have a silence that moves through us, a quiet sadness if you will, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why God has chosen to take her from us, from this life on earth so soon, or why before we were ready for this person to leave, but we believe God saw Sharon getting tired & since a cure for her cancer was not to be, he put his arms around her & whispered "Come to me!" With tearful eyes you watched her & saw her pass away - and although you Loved her dearly - you could not make her stay. Her goldenheart stopped beating, her hardworking hands now at rest. God broke your Hearts to prove he only takes the Best! We are deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. Love, Gerald, Trenda, Brad, Chris & Natalie Carlisle Gerald and Trenda Carlisle
