Sheila was a friend, and a true loving soul. Her humor and elegance, and soft spoken charm can never be forgotten. I am so saddened to learn of her passing, but I know I will see her in the banquet halls of Heaven some day... where I am sure she will be showing photos of her beautiful, loving family to us all!
