Sheena,
You Alex & Joshua are missed so much and will never be forgotten. Your souls will live on. Just wish I could have had more time to spen with you and do all the things sister-n-Laws do together. Can you see me you and Tez acting up like fools. I think about it and just laugh.

Love You Always

Sheena your loving smile and personaility will be greatly missed. You always knew how to make everyone laugh. I remember when you were pregnant with Alex and that was a very happy time for you. I was so glad when you and Griff had finally admitted you had a thing for each other. Sheena was such an inspiration. I will never forget when I first met her at Fort Monroe, VA.

My prayers are with the family now and always. Keep your heads up and continue to live the life that the Lord and Sheena would want you to live. God always knows best, even when we don't.

Sheena was one of my soldiers while I was stationed in Belgium. She was an outstanding soldier, and a great team player. It's difficult to find words that could be of any comfort, but please know that the Griffin and Williams family will be in my prayers. May GOD give the families the strength to get through this tragic time......SFC (R) Enrique Medina
