To Sheila's entire loving family:

Shortly after opening my business in 1975, Sheila was one of my earlier hires. Absolutely, one of the best decisions I made, that contributed to the success of Buy-Rite Building & Home Center. Sheila not only managed my office, but also assisted in the sales end when needed, and handled all her duties exceptionally. Shelia, treated my business as it were her own and her dedication and loyalty will always be remembered.

Aunt Sheila,
You were a very special person to all of us. You taught me so much about business, and most importantly, being a good person. I love you, I'm going to miss you... Give Uncle Ray a hug and make sure he has his custard pie.
I love you 14!!!

Michelle,Glen, Mark, Kirk:
May I extend my deepest sympathies to all of you and the rest of your moms loving family.
Your mom was among the earlier persons I hired when I opened my business in Danielson. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. Not only was your mom one of my most loyal and dependable employees, she also treated my business as it was her own; which was a trait that was very difficult to come across in the business world.
Again, my sincere sympathies, your mom will be surely missed by all; but remembered forever in the lives of all the people she touched.
