Your entire family is an inspiration to us and we continue to lift you up in our prayers.

I can`t imagine how tough it has been for you and your family. Our thoughts are with you from the other side of the world. 11/26/2008 07:54AM Kathy Ball , NC I see that Drew has inherited Maria`s gift with words.

We continue to keep you all in our prayers! 10/25/2008 01:17PM Grady Youngblood Fort Lauderdale, FL Dr.Charles Stanley is a Biblial based Real Truth of the Holy Bible Preacher from God`s Word. 10/25/2008 01:16PM Grady Youngblood Fort Lauderdale, NC Dr.Charles Stanley is a Biblial based Real Truth of the Holy Bible Preacher from God`s Word. 10/20/2008 07:23AM Randy R Charlotte, NC Thank you for the many blessings that you, Gavin, Mackenzie, Drew, and Austin have been, and continue to be, to my wife and me.

Charlotte, NC So Gavin & Maria...the Browns 0-3 vs. the Bengals 0-3. "The Battle for the Big O" this week. Speaking of "Big O`s", I guy walks into his bedroom carrying a pig while his wife is in bed. He says "See this is the pig I`ve been cheating on you with." His wife replies "What are you talking about?" "I`m sorry, I wasn`t talking to you, I was talking to the pig." he says. Just a little joke to make you smile. Later 9/26/2008 12:54AM Norma , NC My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your family is so dear to us. You teach and lead by example. Marriage is a partnership. It is never 50-50..... some days one person gives 98% because the other one only has 2% to give. But that is what is so wonderful, when you are in a loving marriage. Taking care of the person you love is more important than being "right" We love you very much. Hope Friday is a good day for all of you. Love Ya! 9/19/2008 02:11AM Suzette , NC You never cease to amaze me in your faith and all you do. I am truly blessed to have you in my life.

You are warrior. 9/9/2008 08:29PM David White Charlotte, NC They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. (Or, change strength.) When I am weak, then am I strong. God shall be my strength. He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Let him take hold of my strength. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee. The arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob. I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Isa. 40:31. 2 Cor. 12:10. Isa. 49:5. 2 Cor. 12:9. Isa. 27:5. Ps. 55:22. Gen. 49:24. Gen. 32:26. 1 Sam. 17:45. Ps. 35:1,2. 9/7/2008 11:34PM Dorianne Maumee, OH Thanks for trying to answer my endless questions!

I hope you realize that we are still here and always willing to help you in anyway we can (just don`t ask me to cook!) 9/5/2008 03:29PM Suzette Charlotte, NC Psalm 46:10 - He will see you through this... and we will be his angels on earth to help him with that task. I`m sure that there are times when you feel alone in this, but we will always be here with you. 7/7/2008 12:53PM Joyce Craig Rainsville, AL I found you thru a mutual friend Carol Tallent thru Greg Boone( love him and his family). your story shows that through anything we are so fragile in this world and must rely on Jesus ,his word his strength, and our faith though like a mustard seed sometimes will get us through and angels we call friends and family just give and give , and the prayer warriors though unseen hold us up and we must hold each other up, keep the faith , keep your amazing courage ,don`t give up you are an inspiration to me,glad I found you all, you are on my prayer list.

We are here for you. now as for the teeth, just remember the tea bags! We love you! 6/23/2008 08:49PM Ginny Grisdale Charlotte, NC God is with you every step of the way. Dr. Charles Stanley has a scripture and teaching from Col. 1:9-15, whenever you want to pray for yourself or anyone else. I prayed it 10 years ago beginning with myself and then I prayed for my family and it is as Dr. Stanley says, "Life-Changing Prayer". God is true to His Word and He is Sovereign, and God is The Healer. Our prayers are with all of you. Whenever we can`t see what God is doing...it doesn`t mean that He is not working and moving on the Sharpe Family`s behalf. God will make a way when there seems to be no way; He works in ways we cannot see...He will make a way for thee. 6/4/2008 02:14PM Jennifer Charlotte, NC Knock, knock... anyone home? ;-) 5/7/2008 02:30PM Suzette Charlotte, NC Okay, we are going to make sure that Gavin 7 Kurt aren`t allowed to do projects together, because that defintely sounds like something Kurt would have done!!!

Your spirit, hope and general outlook on life will keep that medicine working inside your body even if they aren`t putting new stuff in as often. The power of positive thinking can do amazing things!!!! 4/27/2007 03:45PM Joyce & Gene Hennecy Charlotte, NC, NC Gavin, just wanted to let you know we lost our friend, Buck Pressley last week at Myrtle Beach. He had lived a long life of 82 years, and he is in a better place now. You are young, and have the strength, love and prayers of all the people that love you and your family.

Love, Ruth 3/24/2007 08:46PM Suzette Charlotte, NC It`s been a while since I posted, so... When I see you, you always looks so good, that it seems to hit me when I remember the situation. We never talk about it, but I would give anything to take it from you. I often feel like the right words are on the tip of my thong and then they`re gone. Gavin, the song we sang rings in my ears everyday as a blessing. When I heard it on the website, it filled my heart and reminds me of the gift of faith. In those difficult moments, just know that we are always with you and we love you. Love, Suzette 3/16/2007 04:08PM Anne Ft. Mill, SC You are both always on my mind and in my heart but today you seem especially close. You know I love you and would do anything to remove this trial from you both. No one seems to want to talk about the elephant in the room, but I`m a red head so why not -- I don`t like that you are having to go through this fire but I am confident that our Father Creator and Sustainer is with you both and will deliver you either from, through, or by this trial (ask Maria, Gavin, she can explain). I don`t feel like I do enough to support you but please remember how very much I love you and pray for you. You can stop crying now Maria. LOL 3/15/2007 02:06PM Tommy and Trish Hasty Charlotte, NC Gavin and Maria, we are sorry we missed the play, but baby came right on time (or a little earlier). Anyway, we are still thinking about you guys and praying that the Lord will give you strength through all this.

"I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe." Ephesians 1:18-19 3/9/2007 08:26PM Christy Farrior , NC Hi "Michael W.", I mean Gavin! :o) You sounded like an angel today practicing the song, and the Lord is going to use you and the quartet in a powerful way this Sunday!
