Congratulations Shari!!! You’re just amazing and I’m thrilled to call you a friend! Good luck and God Bless…

Who better to represent Ms. Wheelchair Ohio in the Ms. Wheelchair America than you Shari! Whenever I am feeling a little “off or blue”, all I have to do is to associate myself with you - even if it is to say “Hello”, and you make it always possible for me to feel better about myself, and I can go away smiling. You have a natural ability to uplift anyone you come in contact with….being it your smile, your confidence, your energy, your work ethic or your attitude. AND YOU DO POWER-SHOPPING!!!! Best of Luck to you because you have the ability to make everyone around you feel like they are 1,000 percent better just by knowing you!!

I AM a much better person just by knowing you. GO GET ‘EM!!!!

Jan

You go girl!!! I am so proud of you but not surprised, you are an amazing woman! Good luck and congratulations!

My name is Angie Wilkerson: I was Ms. Wheelchair Virginia 2005-2006, second runner-up at Ms. Wheelchair America 2006 and also was awarded the People’s Choice Award. To all contestants, congratulations! As you get ready for MWA I know you are probably very excited and nervous at the same time. I wanted to share these pieces of wisdom based on my experiences and advice I received. You will be glad if you do all of your preparation before going to MWA (prepare & practice speeches, etc.), once you arrive pace yourself- don’t wear yourself out- get your rest and eat well- take care of yourself, enjoy every moment of the experience, take lots of pictures, try to meet and spend time with each contestant- you will be so inspired and enriched by doing so, you are all amazing and special…don’t compare yourself to anyone else- just be the best you that you can be, think of your fellow contestants not as competition but rather as members of a team with the same mission as you. May you all support, encourage, educate, and inspire one another. Have the time of your life and congratulations again to each of you on your achievements.
God bless,
Angie Wilkerson

Shari,
Since working at GWES, I have noticed this confidence in myself that I learned from you. You always want to smile, even while working hard, and nothing seems to get you down. You are a wonderful, amazing, talented, and beautiful woman!
Even though you don’t need it, I am wishing you good luck!

Hello Shari Lynn,

In five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure, a year in the life?
This exact question from one of my favorite songs from the musical RENT began running through my head from the moment I recieved the title of Ms. Wheelchair Tennessee. How would I measure this year? And now I know I am measuring it in every lesson taught and learned and every friendship made.

I am looking forward to a great week here at Nationals. Thank you for being a part of how I will measure this year.

Kasondra, Ms. Wheelchair Tennessee 2008

Shari, I gave you my best and you past the test. I told you to stop & rest, you said “no, I’m going to my best”. I am thankful for a star like you. Run on and see what the end going to be! Love You Mom & the Cooper Family

As I sit here looking over my life, I can truly say that I am blessed. I have a great family that have supported me since day one. My job is wonderful at Goodwill Industries Easter Seals in Dayton, Oh with the best co-workers in the world. And my friends are just the best. I want you all to know I love you and am greatful for you. God is GOOD all the time. He has a plan for me and I will carry it through now and as long as I live. With his grace & mercy I will not go wrong. Now let’s go get Rockville. Shari

Kick butt and have fun! You know we’re all pulling for you!
Margie

We are waiting and watching. Can’t wait to see your new crown. Best of Luck and I miss you! Maria

Do you have your victory dance already ‘worked out’? I want you to look smooth in front of the camera Can’t wait to celebrate with you!!

Hey Shari,

I am a good friend of Dewayne and Lynette. You represent “The Buckeye State” well! Congrats and much success to you. You are already a winner!

Marcia Jones
