Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above riches. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. Proverbs 31:10-12.
Higgins Funeral Home is honored to be serving the family of Shari LaVerne Daniels Maddox during this time of loss.
Shari and I were one year apart in age. We felt the thick cousin bond, and whenever we could, we would spend a little time chatting about life. We were both singers, and I was SO PROUD OF HER as she sang on the stage of Cobo Hall in Detroit for General Conference! She was only about 6 years old! I remember that event like it happened yesterday. See you in the morning Cuz!!
With deepest condolences to you Vince and the Daniel’s family may God provide you with Peace, Comfort and Strength to carry you through this difficult time. Is my Prayer for you cousin.
I met Shari one time, and her smile and the time we spent hiking left an indelible footprint on my heart. I have loved her from the day I met her and always shared that love with her nieces who were never blessed with the opportunity to meet her. You will be missed “Aunt Shari.”
My Condolences to Shari’s loved one’s. She was a classmate of mine class of 80. Heaven has another ANGEL!!!!
