Lest We Forget
I had the fortune to have known Sharron in Cyprus,
learnt my lesson playing Hockey against such a determined young woman and was a challenge passing her on a run.
It was a great honour laying a wreath for Sharron at her memorial in Hadleigh
and attending the War Memorial redidication ceremony on 11-11-09.
I also laid a wreath in her honour at The National Memorial Arboretum where her name is inscribed on the Wall with thousands of other brave service men and service women who gave their lives for theie country.
Rest in Peace Sharron
LEST WE FORGET
Karl Harvey, Hadleigh ex-REME
The most caring, considerate and fiercely determined lady I have ever encountered - Sharron. A unique and very special woman I both loved and lost. Have cried, have been angry, have been silent up until now. Words just do not and cannot ever describe the light you brought to so many lives in so short a time. There will always be a space in my heart for you.
Elsie, my thoughts and best wishes to you and your family.

"My Sharona"
Hi kid,
I remember when we first worked together in Northern Ireland. We didn't see eye to eye at first. The truth is we annoyed the hell out of each other.
Then one night after a few beers, we discovered how similar we were. We shared the same concerns over career, past and present loves, family etc. You were the first person at wok I told about my newborn daughter.
Although you were beautiful and genteel, you could hold your own against the lads.
I'm so sorry you have gone. For a while I was envious. You died doing something you loved instead of fading away in some corner. Most people won't understand that statement, some may even find it offensive. I'm sure you understand.
My best memory of you is on one of our trips into Belfast, You, me, Jason Wheatley, Baz Wheeler and Lee Lumb were all piled into Jason's Ford Escort. Jase had "My Sharona" by "The Knack" on CD and would play it over and over again, really loud because he knew it would annoy you.
You wold say "Oh God, not this song again" but you would sing and bang your head as loud and as hard as the rest of us.
Every time I hear that song, I dance, I shed a tear, but mostly I smile.
I love you kid.
Dave
I miss you crazy chick!
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.
Sharon, you were great, very funny, intelligent and beautiful.When I see your picture the years slip back to Hadleigh. I am so glad that I knew you. xxx

Of all the years we weren't in touch
I never missed you quite as much
As I do now.
Wish you were back here.
I was the lucky one....
I was the lucky one - my partner also served in Iraq with the REME and each and every day was agony, waiting to hear news. Everything was uncertain (still is), days on end, news blackout, no telephone/email contact, news in the media etc - extremely hard. I was lucky that he (my partner) eventually returned home safe and well, after a 6 months' tour of duty. You, sadly, were not the 'lucky' ones.
The excruciating pain when you learnt the truly heartbreaking news I cannot begin to imagine. Sharron was a fine young lady, a woman to be immensly proud of, a woman with dignity and sense of duty.
Sharron will stay in your hearts forever until one day you will re-unite. I know she is still with you and looking out for you.
I, and my Partner, salute your Sharrons and all of those he has - temporarily - left behind.
The clichee 'words are cheap' are truly apt in this context!
With thoughts of Sharron and you, his family
Helen
