I will always remember Sheila's warm smile that would light up any room she was in. Sheila's hospitality and love of her family extended from her nearest and dearest to the most distant relatives. When you were with Sheila she always made you feel like you were the most welcome, loved person in that moment. I always appreciated her welcoming hugs. No matter how long it had been since I had seen her, Sheila would always make me feel God's love through her. What a legacy of love she leaves to all of us family. To her brothers and sisters, kids, grandkids, great grandkids, all of you my cousins, I hope I can share back to you a portion of the love Sheila gave to me. I love all of you whether you know me or not. My deepest sympathies to all of you and prayers and love to you.

48 years ago, we came into each other's lives. It was instant love. From a baby til I was ready to "leave the nest", you took care of me, you taught me, you nurtured me, but above all you taught me how to love. Later on in life, it was our turn to help you. It was a gift to be able to help you after all you have done for me. It was a honor for me. (Even when I had to mow your lawn & around all your beautiful flowers) 😀 Then it came to the part of your journey that I prayed to God to take your pain & suffering away. God answered our prayers. It is bitter sweet though because for now I have to say goodbye. I can't wait to see you again & give you a hug & a kiss. Rest In Peace Mom. I love you.
Your son Michael.

I have many happy memories of Sheila. I always enjoyed getting together at Christmas time and other family gatherings throughout the years. I looked forward each summer to my annual tour of her lovely weed free flower gardens. One would always see numerous yellow flowers blooming all summer long. Sheila /I would trade plants over the years as she always wanted to bring in new ones to add to her collection. Extending my sympathy to Rhonda, Teresa, Mike and all their families!!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with Sheila's family. She was an added plus to our grad class of '58.
She will be greatly missed at our 60th this year. What a great friend.
God bless
