Hi my name is Mel and I'm fundraising for a dear friend who passed away very suddenly. I am asking for donations to help towards the funeral costs to try and take some pressure off her children at this very difficult time. Sharon was full of life and was loved by everyone who knew her, she touched the hearts of so many people. She was the most beautiful soul that you could ever wish to meet. She was kind caring and compassionate, with a great sense of humour, she had so many amazing qualities. She gave up her time volunteering to help others. Sharon overcame so much and her strength was an inspiration. She was an amazing mother and grandmother and a really good friend and she will be truly missed by so many as she touched so many people's heart including mine. Sharon really wanted to go parasailing when we were in Cyprus last September but I was too scared so I took her jet skiing instead she also wanted to go to Portugal and we were planning on going together this year so as a tribute to her and to help raise as much money as possible I will be going to Portugal to parasail. So please dig deep.

Hi my names Roy. Where do I begin, this is a tribute and a call to all those who knew Sharon Payne and want her to have the sendoff she so truly Deserves.

Sharon was a devoted mother of three wonderful children and three grandchildren who made our Sharons life complete and Joyous.

Everyone who knew Sharon would agree that there was a lot packed into that 5.5 ft frame cos if you met Sharon you new it, that horse gravelly voice was unmistakable, you knew when you heard it, it was Sharon.

No matter what life put in front of her it was water off a ducks back Sharon took it and came back better and stronger that word legend was so meant to follow Sharon because she truly was.

I first met Sharon at CGL Lewisham, and we had an instant connection the days we would sit in reception laughing so loud that clients and staff would question if we were there to work, we would Constantly be getting told off by management and told to quieten it down, but we never did.

Sharon would often tell me to stop because I was making her piss herself and that was our Sharon, she’d tell you as it was but happy to laugh at herself as well.

We all know that Sharon had a troubled past, the loss of her mother and brothers at such a young age had taken a lot out of Sharon but the love and her Selflessness to be there for her children and grandkids was a beautiful thing to see.

I know Sharon right now would be saying stop all this just carry on I’ll be alright.

But we can’t you left a massive hole in everyone’s heart when you left us so Tragically premature and for that reason, I hope you’re up in heaven Reunited with your mother and brothers because that’s Least you deserve.
