  1. Sharon Haines is the most kindest loving person I have ever known. She has devoted her life to helping so many others, and she is always patient with everyone. She is the perfect person working for the Salvation Army in Oneonta New York. Sharon always gives time to all those who go to her. She puts others before herself and she is a Saint. May God Bless Sharon and keep her safe in the palm of His hand always now and forever.
