Just returned from vacation and learned of Sheila's passing. She was an old friend. We worked together at Western Union and I was a bridesmaid at her & Joe's wedding.
Deepest sympathy.

Sheila, Ken and Family,
It sounds like your mom was a special lady, and we know this must be hard for you. You're never ready to loose a parent, but take comfort in knowing the love you had for each other.
Sincerly, Rachel and Greg

Our deepest sympathies. We met Joe and Sheila our first winter on the Vineyard. Our first "real" house was their garage apartment. I can still remember all the kids, various ages, running around and Tim being followed by his beloved guinea hens! It was quite a scene. Sheila was a terrific mom and a friend. We all will miss her. Take care everyone.
