To Sheila's Family,
My Mom, Wilma, was Sheila's first cousin. Since Sheila was closer to my age, we spent a lot of time together as children growing up. She had such a sweet spirit that I always admired. I know she needed a lot of care for the past many years and am grateful she had such a loving husband and son. God bless you all. Rest in Peace, Sheila. I love you!!
