Sharron, you wandered in to my heart one day and pronounced we would be "forever friends". I still miss you like crazy. A Hui Hou, dear friend.

Happy Heavenly Birthday my dear friend Sharron. I happened to be looking through old IM vids yesterday and your smiling face popped up. Only later did I see that it was your birthday. Missing you.

I had many employees over the years, but none that became a close friend to the extent Sharron was. Much more a friend than an employee. Such an amazing and kind person and secure in her Christian faith. God bless you for all time....

Sharron was always the best to work with at Ironman. Although I only met her a few times we laughed and enjoyed talking to each other and she was the consummate pro to work with. I enjoyed being around her when in Kona.
RIP Sharron

I cannot believe it has been 7 years. I still think of Sharron on a regular basis and remember what an amazing woman and friend she was. Her strength of character still helps guide me in many ways. She will always be missed.

My beautiful Mom,
My family had a good day remembering you with laughter and love. So many changes and events have taken place in the past 6 years that I know would have been all the richer if we could have shared them with you. You were our bright light. The family will always have an emptiness in our hearts until we get to be with you again. I know where you are. I know I will get to feel your hugs and see your cheerful smile and your beautiful brown eyes looking lovingly at me again. I am thankful that I still feel your presence so strongly. I miss you every day Mom.

I love and miss you everyday mom. Lily misses you and talks to you through prayer a lot. I wish you were here to meet my little mango LeiLani. She would of loved you. Dad and I are the only ones that are close since you left. You were the glue that kept the family together and in contact. They say time heals everything. They lied. It doesn’t get easier. You were the best thing in all our lives. I’m grown now. But I still want my mom. Still want a hug or to talk stories. I miss you so much. The void will never fill. Can’t wait to see you again.

Still missing you every day. When I go into my Lavaman office, your picture still hangs there and renews the wonderful memories I have of our friendship and fun times. You continue to live on in the memories of many.

I love you mom and think of you all the time. Life is not the same without you. And when they say time heals all. That’s a lie. A piece of me
Will forever be missing. And a piece of me will never heal until we meet again. Dad misses you dearly. I always try to make him laugh and keep a smile on his face. We bring you up a lot in life and at our Starbucks meet ups in the morning. Dad actually just found a sweater wrapped up and labeled in storage from around 1958 that he got you. He had no idea you kept it all these years. That really made our day. We love you so so much. Lily always brings you up and talks to you in prayer. She still has the first blanket you bought her when she was born. Happy Birthday Mom. I love you so much. You are missed by so many ppl. The light you brang into every room or event will never be forgotten. Xoxo

Today my mom would have turned 75. My family and I celebrated like we do every year with angel food cake, singing happy birthday and sharing sweet stories of our funny and beautiful Mimi. She is remembered and celebrated every time we wish we could share experiences with her and feel the absence of her gorgeous smile and positive spirit. We laugh together about crazy things she used to do and then I ususally cry. She still inspires me constantly to try my best to show love to my family and to look for the good in every day.
I really enjoy reading the notes from her friends on this site. I know she loved each of you deeply and would be so delighted that you loved her so much! I thank you for remembering her!

Hard to believe it has been 6 years already Sharron. I still remember being at Ironman in 1998 and meeting you in person for the first time. You were always gracious and a great listener. We had good conversations about the medals I provided and all the awards my company made for you at the World Championships in Kona.
RIP Sharron.

I think of Sharron often, remembering what a great friend and person she was. I especially remember her smile and it often makes me smile. Hopefully she is smiling down on all of us today on her birthday and knows we are thinking of her with much Aloha.

Hi mom, although you were certainly on my mind, I was camping on the 24th w no cell reception, so my words are a couple days late. 5 years. I sure wish I had 15 more minutes to let you know I understand now. So much has come to light since you left us..We love you very much, and we miss you very much, too. I hope you are happy and at peace mom. You deserve it.

Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of Sharron’s passing. They say that time heals all wounds! I’m not so sure that’s true. My heart aches for her each time she enters my mind. More so now than 5 years ago.

Love is a fickle thing. It manifests in unlimited forms of thought, verbal expression, body language and touch. It is expressed differently at various stages of life. As a teenager we mistook lust for love. During midlife when raising a family, love was the glue that kept the family together and moving forward. When empty nesters, it was the knowledge of joint accomplishment. As seniors it is an invisible magnetism of mutual respect.

Unfortunately, very few couples are lucky enough to travel through life together experiencing each form of love. Those of us who have are truly blessed. We felt the joy and admiration of watching our mate achieve great things during our lifetime together. We experienced overwhelming desire to support even the smallest goal our mate desired to pursue. We received unwavering support on the part of our mate to ease our pain of failing a personal objective. We received overwhelming concern and unending care each time we fell ill. Love is not a word or an expression, it is a burning sense of admiration and respect for the extreme level of giving you received from your mate. It is rarely visible, cannot be measured and is impossible to fake.

Sharron’s memory is something I carry locked in my heart. It will not fade over time, nor will it be replaced.

I sincerely hope that the majority of you who visit Sharron’s memorial web site have experienced the level of love from one person that I have.

I would like to thank all of you who have posted warm thoughts on Sharron’s “Forevermissed” web site over the years. Although I have refrained from posting on the site until now, I do visit it frequently. It warms my heart immensely knowing that several of you have posted each year, either on her birthday or the anniversary of her passing. I’m certain she was deeply touched to have known you directly and that you continue to be her friend in memory.

Sharron will forever hold a place in my heart. I am blessed for having met her in 1999 at KKT and then being part of the Carbo party program my first IM Kona that same year and years after. A truly loving, giving person, not just to me, but all she met. Rest in Peace my friend.

I was touched by the message Brandon left for his mother, Sharron. A beautiful tribute to someone who always gave of herself and was always there to help others. I miss her so much and know that Joe & Brandon and her whole family do as well.

Your 74th in heaven..We love you mom. We think and talk about you all the time. We miss you very much. I am trying to keep the promise I made to you the last time i spoke into your ear. I've been trying to make things how you would want them. I haven't made much headway but I will try not to give up. We will reflect on you and your grace today, and say a prayer for our family. Ride that raindrop and we will see you again someday. Mike&Julie❤

How can it possibly be 4 years since Sharron left us. I think of her so often and every time I walk into the Lavaman office, I see her beautiful smiling face that graces our wall there and then I know she is still with us in many ways.
Sending my love to Joe and your family as well.

My beautiful Mom.. Missing you in a big way today. Dad is here visiting us in Texas! Since his 75th birthday was a couple weeks ago I surprised him with his favorite spice cake and some fun old man gag gifts! I put the number candles 7 and 5 for Dad on the cake and I put hot pink with white polka dot candles for you all around his number 75. I told him it represents how you're always around him. You would have loved it! At dinner I set the table with one of your table cloths and your old china plates that you've used since I was very young. You are still remembered and sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry. Dad too.. but mostly it brings him to tears when he talks about you. His deep affection for you will always be.  I want to say thank you to the sweet friends who posted love notes to you today. Happy Birthday Mom.

Missing you every day. Time with you truly were the good old days. You became one of my closest friends because we started out as adversaries but we became close loving friends because of our common bond and our sincerity toward each other. You were an icon in our sport and forever my friend.

A classy women and a wonderful friend. I always looked forward to our meeting at Pottery Terrace. 
As busy as she was she always had time and patience to answer any questions. As Ironman approaches it brings back many great memories,
Sharron is on the top of the list of great memories. 
Always in our thoughts.

I miss my mom. Every day. I still want to call her and talk story. I still yearn for her when I am hurting and need her comfort and wisdom. I can still hear her voice. I still think about regrets. I still get angry that she isn't here. I wish she could see my children. I wish my children still had her in their lives. She made them laugh and nurtured their spirits and they felt her adoration for them. My sweet Daniel talks about how he misses her nearly every day! I am grateful to read the kind words that all of her friends have posted here. I printed them a while back and read them occasionally. It's soothing to know that she was so appreciated. I know all she wanted in life was to help others, be a good friend and love my dad! So thank you all for your thoughtful messages and remembering my mom. I will take time today to sit outside and re-read all the expressions that you have put on this website to honor my mom. She is still so beautiful.

It still seems so odd that Sharron left two years ago. She was the solid go-to person many of us always counted on. No doubt she is somewhere organizing events or stuff to benefit others. She is just the best!

Time flies so quickly. Two years since we lost our friend Sharron. We remember her with the love and aloha spirit she shared with all who ever met her. Such a kind and generous person, taken from us way too soon. Aloha Sharron, until we meet again.

I can't believe it has been 2 years. I miss Sharron every day. Lavaman continues to honor her by raising money for Pancreatic Research every year. In the meantime I have lost three other friends to the same disease. Lets all work together to raise both money and awareness to help fight this terrible disease before it takes more lives as precious as Sharron's.

Sharon will always in my heart.
I lost my sweet sister-in-law to this horrible disease.
I fight back by working at our local Relay For Life each year in
Kona. 
Joe, blessings to you and your family
Cheryl,
