TO ALL THE SHELDON CHILDREN AND MR SHELDON : We grew up together and share many good memories. I can still picture her baking, especially making whoppie pies. More recently I would see her at Marketbasket and we would talk. My deepest sympathy to you all as you grieve the loss of your dear loved one.
