Abiding respect

Hi

Are the underlined phrases natural in everyday English?

I have an abiding respect for her.
Sharry has an abiding memory of that nasty event.
She has an abiding love for her deceased teacher.

Thanks,

Tom

Yes. "abiding" is a slightly formal word that is mostly encountered in written English rather than everyday conversation. Nevertheless, your sentences are perfectly good English.
