We are so very sorry for Sharon’s passing and are sending prayers to the Lord that He provides you with comfort. Sharon was in our wedding party 49 years ago at Marshall Road.
Please accept my sincere and deepest sympathy for your loss of Sharon Myers. I pray that you feel God’s presence in your hearts, bringing healing to your pain and sorrow. Words may not comfort you in loss, but Sharon’s kindness, dedication, and warmth will last a lifetime. I pray that God embraces the family while providing comfort and reassurance in these challenging times. As a retired executive director for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Sharon was my secretary, and for me, it was both a pleasure and an honor to have served with her. I still find it shocking and difficult to accept her passing. Still, I will always value her ability to unite everyone regardless of their backgrounds, opinions, and beliefs. I hope you find comfort in the lasting impact of her memories. May God comfort you all in the days ahead.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Myers family during the loss of your loved one. I first met Sharon in January 2010 and worked closely with her in the Director’s Office from 2011 to 2016. She was a very thoughtful and caring person. I learned that her father was an Air Force Veteran and was stationed at Little Rock Air Force Base. She had a wealth of knowledge concerning Regional Office operations and truly enjoyed her position. The atmosphere she created was truly family-like, and she will surely be missed.
My deepest sympathy for the Myers family. I have worked with Sharon since 2008. It’s hard to accept her passing. Her smile would light up the room. She cared deeply for everyone. I will always remember her kindness. My God’s love give you the strength for the days ahead.
My heartfelt condolences go out to Sharon’s family and friends. She will be missed and mourned. Everyone that I ever heard speak of her loved her.
Our prayers go out to Sharon’s loved ones. I want to thank her for her service to Veterans and their families..
