Aunt Sheila. Dorothy. Jersey Street. My father's cousin could make a day visit feel like a return home.
I'm grateful for good memories from your fine spirit.

I am so sorry to hear of Sheila's passing... Though she and I only met once, I found her so engaging. My father spoke of the SF branch of his family--Sheila and Hannah--very often. I was so grateful to have the opportunity to spend time with her.

Sheila, you and your whole extended family are in my thoughts and prayers.
