What an absolutely lovely, calm, caring, modest friend Sharon was. She also had a great sense of humour and has certainly led a full, wholesome life and left a wonderful legacy with Ben and Andrew. What a loss to the world. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sharon was a beautiful person inside and out, a wonderful nurse and I am honoured and proud to have worked with her and call her a friend, she will be so missed, my sincere condolences to her family but she was so proud of you all. Forever in my heart xx
I worked with Sharon as part of the Peer Support team for several years. I remember her calming nature, reassurance when all else was falling apart, and just being really approachable. Will be remembered.
I knew Sharon through our Peer Support team. She was such a special person, an amazing nurse and friend. She had an energy and enthusiasm for life. She lived her family and had a passion for nursing. She will be sorely missed. My thoughts are with you and your family, Alistair x
To our lovely friend Sharon,
We have enjoyed our time together over the years as our children grew up into the wonderful young adults they are today. We have fond memories of youth hosteling in Port Eynon, your Christmas Eve gatherings with you famous hot roast pork sandwiches and Prosecco filled summer afternoons in your garden. Mum to mum – thank you for your kindness and compassion when we were facing challenges as a family, and for the doorstep food drops. We will all miss you – Jayne, Adam and girls xxx
I had the pleasure of working with Sharon for 8 years at JLMC. Not only a colleague but also a friend. She was 100% the heart & soul of the practice. She was an amazing person, so caring and fabulous at what she did. Everyone who met Sharon instantly loved her. She is terribly missed in everyway, even her pogo stick dancing. My thoughts are with you all Alistair, Ben and Andrew. xxx
Dearest Sharon, so hard to believe you have been taken from all who loved you at such a young age. We met at the age of 12 at school and despite the distance between England and Australia have remained friends ever since. Such a gorgeous person, a chaotic free spirit and by all accounts an amazing nurse, wife and Mum. You will be truly missed by so so many. Rest in peace gorgeous girl xxx
Sharon was a wonderful person with fabulous energy and a great sense of humour. It is terrible that she has been taken from the family she loved at such a young age. I hope your memories of the fun you had together keep you strong.
So many people now have a Sharon shaped hole in their lives. Sending love and strength to Al, Ben and Andrew (and her lovely Mum and Dad) Our little group ‘The Witches’ will never be the same again.

So Sad, Taken Far too soon,Rest in peace.
Our wonderful daughter-in-law Sharon, who we dearly loved, has been taken from us.
Unfortunately our health is such that we are unable to attend the celebration of her life and will watch the live webcast of the service.
We spent many years at the poolside, watching Ben, Marcus and Tobi learn to swim.
It was a long time ago but feels like yesterday.
We were really sorry to hear this sad news, Sharon was a warm, kind and lovely person.
Sharon – loving, kind, generous and amazingly strong woman. Have always been in ore of you especially amazed how when we visited that you made the Birmingham Library one of the highlights of the trip for the boys, especially Luke.
Although we did not see you ofter when we did it was like the years had not gone by other than the kids being taller. Will miss you massively, rest in peace.
Sharon
You were such a wonderful friend. From the early days when we wandered around pregnant together, to the days when we just asked each other the make of our next piece of baby equipment (our taste was so the same), to the days when we went to play “squash’ (we just ended up chatting whilst the men looked after the babies). When you moved to Birmingham the relationship didn’t change – we just clicked back in. You were one of a kind. My heart goes out to Al, Ben and Andrew and your lovely parents – I can’t imagine how much you are going to miss her.
Love Julie and Molly and Joe. Xxx
I was at Aston Uni with Al and met Sharon soon after they paired up. Before Sharon, Al’s attitude to food was simply as fuel to get him from one day to the next, and being a creature of habit and also a bit tight he was particularly fond of thin white sliced bread sandwiches with marg and mild cheddar. Some time later we went out for a meal and I noticed Al had ventured onto mature cheddar. When I remarked on this to Sharon she simply said “He’s better now”. So funny, and I suspect her influence had something to do with the change. Brilliant sense of humour, kind, calm and straight forward. Sharon you will be sorely missed
Our deepest condolences to Al, Andrew and Ben. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Love, Hitesh, Raksha and Ayush.
I first met Sharon at the school gates of Harborne primary school where my daughter Grace attended along with Andrew. She was elegant and always had a beautiful smile on her face she was also full of energy and used to cycle everywhere. We caught up again before Christmas when I started to Personal train her and she still had that lovely smile and zest for life; I couldn’t believe she’d walked all the way to the gym up and ready for an hourly session of exercise. She put everything in to what she did and I felt proud of her. She messaged me while in hospital to say she missed the sessions and would be back. She will always be with me in spirit. My heart goes out to the family of such a beautiful kind and caring woman. May she rest in peace with the angels.
Sharon was my nurse at Jiggins Lane I’m so shocked to hear this sad news. Sharon was lovely always put me at ease we always talked about life with boys. Sending hugs to Sharon’s family xxx
Sharon was such a warm, holistic and skilled health professional – full of patience with the most vulnerable and hard to reach patients. I know she made a lot of difference in their lives.
I would turn to her if I wanted to discuss and receive advice on what could be done to help patients who lived in challenging social circumstances. I have learned a lot from Sharon. A better colleague could not be wished for.
My thoughts are with Alistair and family.
