I'm so saddened to just be hearing about this news. Sheila was my supervisor at Bell. She was mentor & very good friend to me. My heartfelt sympathy to her family. You were all so important to her and know how much she truly loved you all. She bragged about you all the time, especially her grandchildren. I am so very sorry. The world has lost a great lady. Rest in peace Sheila. xo

Since I was a child, I always thought Sheila, Mrs DeBello, was just the nicest, coolest, lady. My heart breaks for your family having to bear this great loss. My prayers are with you.

For Diane and all Sheila's family, so begins the passing of childhood friends. We were so close as children, houses back to back, running in and out of each other's kitchens, hugging Mrs Kelly as I would my Mom, holding Tuffy as if he were my own. Dear dear memories and so sorry we didn't visit as we got older. xxoo patsy T

John, Jason & Lisa, & Family. I was so sorry to hear of Sheila's passing. Jacquie had reached out and told me. I was so shocked and saddened. I always would ask how Sheila was doing when I would talk to Jacquie, as well as other Family members. May she rest in peace. She will be missed greatly; I am sure.
