Hi Sheila...it's been almost two months...I can't believe it's gone by that quick...please guide me in what to do with the girls and Timmy...they miss you terribly....I am paralyzed because there is nothing for me to say or do to help them or console them...you were everything to them....EVERYTHING! Frank is a mess, the family is not what it was when you were here....everything is all wrong....I miss you and I am saddened that we had so little time together...that is my fault...please forgive me...please help me to find a way to console the girls and Tim and Frank...they are all just bumping through their lives as situations arise...I miss you...I love you...rest....Aileen

Turn me around, pick me up. Undo what I've become. Bring me back to the place of forgiveness and grace. I need you, need your help! I can' t do this myself! You're the only one who can undo...what I've become!

Dear Timmy,

I'm thinking of you tonight because today is your 40th birthday. I know today is hard and I hope you find comfort in the memory of mom trying to convince you your 40th was last year. I know she is wishing you lots of love and especially lots of laughs for this day and every day. You were an excellent son and I hope you soon find peace. Your mom will always be missed and always be so loved. Happy Birthday Tim from all of us. We love you!

My dear family, I know that there are no words to express how deeply sorry I am for your tremendous loss. Sheila touched so many lives, many of whom didn't even know the lengths that she went for families in need. They just don't make them like her anymore. I count myself blessed to be among her family. Please just KNOW that you are all in my heart and prayers always...although it is difficult to believe right now, she is absolutely with each and everyone of you, safely tucked in your hearts. Take her with you throughout life's journey!

All of my love, thoughts, and prayers!
