I am so very sorry for your earthly loss of such a sweet person as Sheila. Sheila had an outgoing personality and sweet spirit. Even through the years at Huntington and beyond, she had a warm and welcoming way. As a Rev., she would make you feel comfortable around her. In keeping those fond memories of Sheila alive, she will remain close. I am praying for you since I cannot be with you right now.

Wendy, Sherry, and the entire Mack and Uzzle Families,

Please accept our sincere sympathy in the loss of your Mother,Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Daughter, Cousin, and friend. To know Mrs. Sheila was to love her. I met her over 20 years ago and boy did she love you all dearly. Sherell, TJ, G, and Miss Bridgett, your grandmother loved you all so very much. I remember her taking care of you guys when you were babies. That was her joy and she did not venture out to have her own career until you all were in school. What an amazing woman she was and so full of the LORD! May God continue to Bless and keep you all in his care. If we can be of any assistance please do not hesitate to call on us. We love you all.
