I am still in shock that you had to leave so soon. You were my friend through good times and bad times, all kinds of adventures, a fun golf partner, and always lending a hand when I needed it. Your children are a wonderful tribute to your life and love for them. Rest easy my friend, til we meet again, God bless you.

Yvonne and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sheree was such a sweet girl. We used to spend lots of time with Sheree while she was in her teen years. I didn't know her in her adult years, but I'm sure she was a great Mom, daughter and sister.
Cherish the many good memories of your loved one.
Thinking of all of you at this very difficult time.
With my sincere sympathy,

To the family of Sheree Maitland,
My older sister Debbie use to be friends with Sheree growing up and I recently ran across her profile on facebook and I was struck by her beauty and that wonderful large smile on her face and the fact that she hadn't changed at all since she was a teenager. I would like to express my sympathy to her family during this time of tremendous loss and sadness.

We had the pleasure of getting to know Sheree through her relationship with Scott. She was a true blessing for Scott and will be sorely missed by all of us. Knowing Sheree has enriched our lives; her positive outlook and easy-going character was a blessing. "SHE WHO LEAVES A TRAIL OF GLITTER WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN"
