To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Kelly Breton wrote... I am so deeply sorry for the loss of Sharon, I always tuned into Fun 107 every morning around 7 am and she was such a beautiful person trough her personality and caring and funny ways, she and JR were great together, I believe that we all come to this world with something to accomplish and many lessons to learn and to grow as a person and make our soul fulfilled, it is really sad to see one of our loved ones depart but they are in a great place where there is only happiness and they are around us, our eyes such can't perceive them. Be strong in a time like this and remember and cherish all the memories you have of her.

Janet Rego wrote... A beautiful voice forever silenced. We will miss you. Rest in Peace Sharon and may God Bless you.
Phillip Brunelle wrote... This is truly a sad loss for the community as she was more than just a radio personality and a great person, she was one of the first people there for me to comfort me after the attack happened at Puzzles Lounge in New Bedford, MA, where I was working on the night of the attack in February 2006 after 18 year old Jacob Robida attacked the gay, lesbian and even the straight citizens of New Bedford, MA whom were present at the night club that evening.
After several conversations with Sharon, she seemed to do the impossible by bringing a smile to my face when I doubted I could ever bring myself to happiness again, and throughout the past three years since I had first met her, morning after morning she has been the one to put the first smile on my face as I listened to the morning show on Fun 107.
She was also the person who in a few words gave me the advice to "go for it" when I wanted to put an end to working for "Corporate America" and to venture onto my own by turning my photography hobby into a career, which I have since done, and will continue to keep alive in her memory. I remember her saying to me, "if you don't take a chance, did you really ever have a chance?" and since then I had lived by that saying.
I will miss the smiles she brought to my face every morning as I listened to her morning show on Fun 107. I will never forget her for the beautiful person that she was, and I will never forget the very first time I met her when she comforted me from the horrible memories that I relived day after day after the Puzzles Lounge attack, and how she let me know that it was okay to be who I am, and that who I love in life doesn't matter because I am a better person then those who live their lives hating others.
May God bless her family, friends, co-workers and everyone she has touched in her short lived life, and may God give us all strength we need to get through such a shocking and difficult time.
Betty Doyle wrote... Sharon thanks for your energetic voice... you put us in the mood to do any and everything. You will be missed deeply. God Bless you and your family.
Ana Carvalho wrote... my deepest sympathies to sharon's family and everyone at the radio station. i did not know her , but enjoyed her on the radio in the mornings. my prayers are with you all and her family at this difficult time.

Michael Marinelli wrote... Sharon was the person that made my day starting the morning listening to her, I woke up this morning with my 10 year old Granddaughter Anna calling me and giving me the bad news, we all will miss her so very much. She always put a smile on my face no mater what mood I was in.

Deanne Maraj wrote... To the family and friends of Sharon; she will be missed. She was a wonderful young woman who was taken way before her time. I loved listening to J.R. and Sharon and you could feel the love between them. I loved to hear her pick on him and laugh that belly laugh. I loved seeing her on television when she was a reporter. She was so very beautiful. Best to Michael. Rest in peace, Sharon. We will miss hearing you.

Kimberley Brown & Taylor Wilbur wrote... Our thoughts and prayers are with Sharon's Family & Friends. My Daughter listens to your show every morning. This morning she comes running out to tell me that Sharon had passed away. I couldn't believe it and immediately went to your website to listen via the internet and heard the sad news for myself. 10 months ago I lost my father to a massive heart attack and I understand what her family & friends are going through. It is hard to believe that they are gone, but what got me through was knowing that my Dad was in Heaven, he didn't suffer anymore, he had no more pain and I would see him again one day in Heaven. May Sharon's Family & Friends take comfort in knowing she is also in Heaven, is not suffering, has no more pain and they will see her again one day in Heaven. We love you Sharon and you will be greatly missed! Rest in Peace and God Bless!
