Location: Fort Worth / Springtown | Shocked to see this, too - how sad, but uplifting, as well.......the last words I spoke to Sharon were, "Thank you." Just as so many have said, just a couple of weeks ago, she was helping out at a barrel race in the arena -- she wasn't putting on the race, just saw that help was needed, and stayed until I was able to get back in the arena.
She will be missed at the races. Glad she went doing what she loved!!
Prayers... |

| I'm sorry to say, I do not know Sharon, but what a legacy she has left in the lives of others...though I didn't know her personally, I can say she has even inspired me, from hearing how many were touched by her kindness , compassion, integrity and dedication .. Many prayers for her family and loved ones.. |

Location: LuluLand~along I64 Indiana | JCCF - 2011-02-11 12:42 PM Good Morning all, I too was so shocked to hear of Sharon's passing, she was a friend of mine and I bought a horse from her years ago. I have seen the posts where Mike said Sharon would have liked donations in her name to go to the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund, that sure meant a lot to me since I am the Program Manager for the Fund. If you would like to make a donation in Sharon's name go to: www.justincowboycrisisfund.org On the page you can print out a form and mail it in with a check or donate online via paypal. Please email me with any questions at jccfinfo@prorodeo.com. I will make sure Mike gets notification of all who donate. RIP Sharon, you will be missed, prayers for Mike and all of her family and friends. Cindy Schonholtz Program Manager Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund

| I just saw this news. I am very sad. I was working with Sharon on introducing the Equilibrium Horse Products to barrel racing and she was promoting the massage pad for us. She was a wonderful lady. Always upbeat. I feel so happy that I had known her even for just a short while. She and I had been making plans to take the Equilibrium Products to the NFR finals in Las Vegas. I am in total shock.
Something like this reminds us to to hold our friends and family close and "live everyday like you are dying" and to be kind to others - this is what Sharon did. I had stupidly locked myself out of my car at a Barrel Racing Show just recently in Terrell and Sharon and Mike went out of their way to get my car unlocked for me. She had been encouraging me to take up barrels. I will miss her terribly. |

Location: Nebraska | I haven't been on BHW for a while; when I read this, my heart sank.
Expedited Prayers & Sympathies to Mike & Sharon's entire family.
    
Sharon was always willing to "take in strays" such as myself. While
at Durant (WBR) us girls (Amy, Sharon, I & a truckload of other gals)
went out to eat nearby. I taken my leftovers back to the trailer,
since I didn't have a fridge in mine; Sharon opend up her trailer
to me without hesitation (never met before) Hey; it's not so much
that she helped a stranger out; it's the fact that I could tell she really
cared and tried to HELP all she met, from show to show, she sat up
her booth of which we all congregated. Very invitive, warm, caring,
fun & generous.....I'll never forget her......Cherish Your Memories :)
Anybody whoes met Sharon; also knows, she's NEVER met a stranger.
From that day forward, we kept in contact and became "phone friends"
for a while. As time and personal events, take us ALL in different directions,
it happens to the best of us at anytime without notice & it hurts when we lose
anyone whoes touched our hearts with kindness and friendship.
I can't stop crying, tears keep rollin down my cheeks. Good Memories.
Gosh; Sharon, Sharon, Sharon, keep us cowgirls & boys in line down here!
We'll be seeing ya again real soon y'hear. Heaven awaits all who believe
in the Christ Our Lord. Sharon, our friend; show'em how to run barrels
in heaven! See ya soon cowgirl:) She Will Be Remembered.......

Very well said. I can here her now, "Sit Down"!!! from somewhere in the crowd as I make my run. "HURRY" as I'm coming off headed the next...... No matter where you we running I could always here Sharon in the background while I was making a run. Its like I listened for her voice to help me during the run. If it wasn't for Sharon, I wouldn't own Boons Prescription (AKA Harley) my sorrel coon tail mare that I run now. She was bought about 500 yards from her house. I was looking for a young horse to start and Sharon and Mike told me about their neighbor that was wanting to sell all her young horses and their mothers. So I went down and picked one out. Come to find out, the one I picked was one that had gotten hurt several months earlier and Sharon and Mike had to take care of her while their neighbors was out of town. Sharon told me that Harleys attitude hadn't change at all. She was still the Witch she was then when they were doctoring her cut. Now though she was worse. Told me that was what made her the horse she was. LOL....tough and gritty.....These next several months will be hard to make runs without listening for "Sit down" and "Hurry". We had planned on going out to eat in Glen Rose in a couple of weeks.
Sharon Glen Rose will be for you My Friend. Harley, Emily and I will try our best to make each run count for you. Love you!

Location: Cap't Shakira the Dagger | Hi everyone, Spoke with Mike this morning, he sounds really good. Bing at home with his family has been a blessing at this time. He wants you all to know that if you need any Ulcer Stop to go ahead and call the house I will be answering the messages and shipping out the products for you. Sharon cared about our horses, and would not anyone to do without Also, No word on a memorial service as of yet. Mike thinks it could possibly be towards the end of next week? I'll keep you posted.............................When cleaning up the counter in looking for some of Sharon's and Mike's important paperwork,for Mike. I came across Sharon's entry for Glen Rose, in a stamped envelope, ready to send. It really makes you stop and think. Things change in the blink of an eye. We all need to be ready.........................................Lynda
