Both Sue & I’s most deepest condolences to Sharons’ families.
Sharon once wrote me a hand written letter, when I was leaving High School, in regards to becoming a primary school teacher. I’ll never forget that. Such knowledge, thoughtfulness and practicality. As with Sharons’ sisters, a true legacy of great parenting and family values.
Leah, Belinda, Kim and especially Bev, our heartfelt sorrow. These sediments are also felt to Sharons immediate McFadden family.
Our thoughts are with you all.

To Keith, Bede and Keisha,
My deepest sympathies, thank you for sharing Sharon. She was an inspiration as a teacher, colleague and friend. I will always remember her laugh and her love of celebrating each student’s success. Keisha I remember how proud she was of everything you put your mind to , especially dancing on stage. Sending hugs.

Dear Keith and family,
Well done with the celebration of Sharon’s life – some great words on Sharon’s caring and supportive nature no matter how challenging the situation was for her personally, with an infectious laugh that further enhanced her selfless soul. She was a wonderful educator adored by her students and their parents – Jindabyne was a much better place for her being part of the teaching community. Sharon was also a strong and proud advocate for public education and recognised how education could change the lives of those less fortunate. A great listener and a wise communicator – Sharon will be missed by all, and I do remember how overjoyed she was to have met you Keith, and for the gift of your two children – Bede & Keisha. You were the icing on her cake of life. Love to all, Steve Cooper.
