Paula, Steven and Beth. There are no words to explain the sympathy I feel for you all and your families.
Sharon was a ray of sunshine to all who knew her. When she and the family made trips to Ark., we all had
so much fun and laughter. She will be sorely missed.

I offer my sincere condolences to Sharon’s immediate family members and to her friends as they confront her absence from their daily routines. I hope their memories of happy times with Sharon will be of great comfort.
I feel comforted that Sharon is at peace.
When I was growing up in southeast Arkansas, I looked forward every summer to the visit from Uncle Paul, Aunt Jean, Sharon and Paula. The Mitchell clan gathered, and a large clan it was, with nine children in the family and three different cousin cohorts based on ages of the parents and those of their children. Sharon was in the first cohort, while her younger sister Paula, my brother and I were in the second cohort. Sharon was most patient and kind to us annoying little kids in the next younger cousin group.
As I got older, I recognized the other admirable character traits and behaviors that are so well described in Sharon’s obituary. I salute her life and her life choices.

I am so sorry to hear of Sharon´s passing. She and I were best friends growing up in Lynn. We were always together having fun whether it was riding our bikes, swimming, boating and skating on Sluice Pond, getting ice cream cones at theDairy Queen, or walking to school. As the years passed and we lived a few hours away from each other, we still got together every year to celebrate our birthdays, which were only five days apart. We always had fun catching up and reminiscing. I miss you, my friend. May you rest in peace.
With my deepest condolences to her family,
Anita (Poor) Crowley
