I worked with Sheila at Maple East and we became fast friends. She was a very beautiful person with a big heart. We had alot of laughs and I admired her courage and strength while she fought her battle with cancer. I am glad to know she is at peace now and in the comfort of God's love. I will miss her. Sheila will continue to live on in her children and in the hearts of her friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you. With deepest sympathy.
