Sharon passed away around 6pm a week ago today. She got distressed while waiting for the ambulance to arrive, I held her in my arms, and she calmed down. I asked her to wait, but she could not, so I told her to go, and she quietly slipped away 5 minutes later. She did not suffer and was not in pain. As her friend & husband I can not begin to express how much I miss her. I sit at my pc in the small hours, broken. I can feel her presence in the chair next to me this morning, as I did a few days ago. She is still with us, and want’s a fag and a cup of tea, and comforts me and tells me to be to stop being silly and to be strong. My dearest sweetheart Sharon, you touched more people in this world that you possibly knew, and you will always remain with me in my heart. Love Pip. (((+1)))

Even though you were terminal it was still a shock to hear that you are now gone. You were such a big part of our lives its difficult to imagine it without you. When we first met I truly believe you came along and saved us in our time of turmoil. You dragged us out of a bad place and you gave dad decades of love and happiness which im truly grateful for.

I still remember playing hours of tomb raider with you. We would go through the whole game, complete it and move onto the next one. I will always remember your countless late night dinner stories and cheeky limericks. You enjoyed being silly and having fun and i think thats why you n dad were such a great match.

When everyone treated me like the baby of the family you treated me like an adult, told me the hard truths, which i needed to hear, like any real parent would. Even if we didnt always meet eye to eye you were still always there for me if I needed you.

Im sorry i never told you this and made peace but know thats all i ever wanted.

Rest in peace shaz
Love you forever

Although we did not know you for long we know you were a very special, kindhearted, happy and generous lady and our time spent with you and dear Phil will always stay precious in our memory.
R.I.P. dear Sharon xx

Sharon, I can’t believe that you’ve gone, but I hope you’ve gone to a better place. I will love you forever and you know we’ll meet again one day. I’ll never forget the day that I got married, my parents went walk about in the casino and whilst I should have been getting ready for my wedding, I was trawling through the casino trying to find them. Once I got back to my hotel room, I was mad and exhausted. Then, there was a knock at my door and you was standing there with a chilled bottle of lanson black label, champagne. You then got 2 glasses and calmed me down and we got ready for my wedding. You were my only bridesmaid, my beautiful bridesmaid. I’ll treasure the photos and memories forever. No get together or family function will ever be the same without your presence. I’ll love you forever my beautiful bridesmaid.

Love Sharon x

To Phil and family,
You truly gave Sharon the best years of her life…she fell in love and you gave her so much happiness. Sharon was like a 2nd mum to my daughter Shannon when she born and into her first few years…..Sharon was my saviour….when I was struggling. I will be forever grateful for Sharons support, love, her big heart…and her sense of humour that will forever resonate in Shannon. We love you Sharon…you will always hold a special place in our hearts ❤️ RIP
