From all of us at Painting with a Twist, Lubbock, Texas…….prayers of peace and comfort for this time and beyond.
She was a wonderful lady that will be missed by many. I attended Bay Area women’s study and parts of the Emmaus group with Sharon. The last time I saw her was when I rode down the elevator with her on her way to surgery in March. A Godly lady and example everyone should follow. Neva Cochran

She will be missed. I will never forget studying hard for her tests in Texas History. May you Rest In Peace. Love, Dora Gutierrez Borgo
Much love and respect to the family of Mrs. Counts, she was a great teacher, who challenged, inspired, and help cultivate my love of history. I pray that she will be at peace, and find her way to the presence of God. My prayers, thoughts, and well wishes are with you all in this time of earthly loss. Let us remember, that God has created us for Himself, and He will call us all home one day, let there be joy and laughter, instead of tears and sorrow.
+Eternal rest, grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. Amen.
I was in high school with Sharon. Our “group” was very special with 4 or 5 girls. I reconnected with Sharon a few years later, but I didn’t have the opportunity to meet with her again. She was a very special friend!
