Pat / Roger,
I want to share my deepest condolences in the passing of Sharon. I was so heartbroken to hear the news.
I’m sure you’ve heard so many great stories about Sharon over the years. I wanted to share with you my story. I met Sharon back in 2013 while supporting her team in their sales roles. Sharon brought me onto her team in 2014; I liked to joke with her that she ‘rescued’ me. Over the years Sharon has been my teammate, my manager, my mentor, but more than anything she was my friend. She protected me, mothered me and mentored me. She took our whole team under her wings and fiercely protected us. She always had great things to say of our team and was so proud of the team that she put together. We truly had the best team around and like any team, it takes a great leader, Sharon was that and so much more. I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for her. I owe my career at IBM to Sharon. She is going to be so deeply missed but I am so grateful that I got to really know her and call her friend.
Sharon was so looking forward to building a new house and living out the rest of her life with you guys. She talked often about family and loved her nephews as if they were her own. She would always refer to them as “her boys”. She is now your angel watching you all from above. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Donna M. Smith
I am shocked to learn of Sharon's passing. She was a truly kind woman, and I will miss her professionalism and expertise. RIP Sharon.

Sharon was a very good friend and fellow board member of our Project Management Institute Northeast Florida Chapter. She was always wise, thoughtful and caring. She is much missed.
My condolence and heart to the family. Such a shock to hear the news. I was fortunate to be a colleague of her at Expert Labs. Sharon was so kind and attentive to everyone, didn't matter that we where from Spain thousands of miles away. Beyond being a professional reference, I will remember her caring for the team. Rest in Peace.

When we returned from Japan, I was scared of going to school, Sharon became my friend, she was a kind, good person, rip Sharon.
I was fortunate to have been able to work with Sharon at IBM Security Expert Labs for many years. I also had the opportunity to meet her in person, in Atlanta, in Dallas, in New Orleans, the places where she helped organize the annual global Security Expert Labs conferences.
Her death is totally unexpected and very sad news.
I have always known Sharon as an extremely committed, very competent and always friendly and people-oriented person.
I would like to express my sincere condolences to the bereaved and her family.

Sharon is truly a special person. As the Chief Operating Officer of IBM Security Lab Services, she was my "right hand" person for my last 5+ years with IBM. Smart, talented, dedicated, she was my confidante, sounding board, facilitator and so much more. Sharon cared deeply for her employees, encouraging them and creating an atmosphere for them to shine. She made the whole organization better, delivering business, customer and employee success. Sharon was the driving force behind the tremendous success of the Technical Academies that were held for four straight years, events that will always be the highlight of my career. Seeing people from across the globe come together to learn, share and most importantly, build relationships grew the team into a family. No one can truly appreciate all the effort that went into making those events world class and it was Sharon who made it all happen.
I could write volumes on what Sharon meant to me, but let me simply say that I miss my friend immensely. Rest In Peace. Condolences and heartfelt love to her family.
It has been a few years since we saw Sharon. She was so full of life and had a beautiful and loving disposition about life. She will be missed.
