Sharon Tonge was one of the nicest, kindest, most genuinely caring women to have ever walked this Earth. I had the honor of knowing her for quite a few years, and was heartbroken to find out that she had passed away.

Sharon will be greatly missed. She touched the lives on many young people and their families during her years at Mt. Olive and later. She was an inspiration to us all. We agree with Bill & Jessica:She was a good and faithful servant to the Lord and He can truly say well done and come unto Me.

Sharon was a great lady and friend. She did a great job as a youth minister in the 80's and early 90's and touched many young people's lives. Sammy, you and your family are in our prayers.
