The service finished with Psalm 61 and a chant praising God. The song “I Can Only Imagine” was played with the words projected on the two large screens in the New Covenant Church sanctuary. Stucker ended with his customary newscast sign off, “Take some time to really enjoy your life today, and may God bless.” Forgive wrongs done to you and ask forgiveness of others. Realize that life is short and a true gift from God. “The Bible says that no man knows how our days are numbered and which day will be our last. God speaks to you when you are at your lowest.” Have you made your peace with God? Open up your heart and talk to your Creator. There’s no way any of us are getting out of here alive. The pain you feel about Sharon today will help you to comfort others in the future.” God comforts us so we can comfort others. Love God and love others the way you love yourself. I know this will affect the way we cover news going forth.” He went on to say, “We in the media report a lot on disaster and death, and we can become hardened. Stucker read a letter from New Mexico Donor Services that said in death she continues to live – three people live because of her organs, she gave sight to two people through her corneas, and the donation of her tissue will improve the quality of life for as many as 100 people. Sharon was an organ donor, and many lives are being saved as a result of her choice. We ask why? We don’t know, for now, there’s no way to make sense of it. “She made friends everywhere she went because she was a friend. Steve Stucker, KOB-TV’s morning show weatherman, spoke about Sharon’s life and divine design. Her father Richard Fullilove then sang a moving rendition of “You Are My Sunshine.” She loved to laugh and to make other people laugh.Ī video montage showed pictures from infancy to adulthood, set to “Over The Rainbow” as sung by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo`ole, clips from her reporting videos, Sharon karaoke singing Jewel’s “Near You Always,” and photos of her set to “Look At You Girl” by Chris Ledoux. She lived life with passion and wanted to try everything. Sharon could sing, dance, paint, write and report and did it all with enthusiasm. “It’s just so hard to say goodbye, so I’ll just say see you later.” “She knew the words to every single song and sang them at the top of her lungs,” said Antonio. Morning show host Antoinette Antonio said they became fast friends quickly and went to see the show “Wicked” together. She started working at KOB-TV in January 2011. “Awesome” and “amazing” were two of her favorite words, and they also described her enthusiastic approach to life.
