Sheila was a wonderful and loving person. When I think of Sheila I remember her smiles and always had a kind word. Even with her pain and suffering, she always had that smile.

I have only known Sheila a short time, and we had only a beginning friendship, but she has left a lasting impression on me. She was a treasure of a soul and her warmth was something that spread from her to you and you remained changed by time spent with her. I have a night blooming cereus plant that she gave me one day, as we discussed our love of plants. It will forever be a beautiful memory of her, and I think of her every time I pass by it. Bless you, Sheila.
Your loving ways will live on in the hearts of so many of us.

I worked with Sheila at the Hyatt in the late 80's and early 90's. What fun we had at Lightfoots. She had a chesire cat grin when she was teasing someone. A cook the likes of Martha Stewart . Quiche Lorraine, and a pound cake that make your mouth water for more.
So sad your left us so early dear friend.

Sheila was loved by so many, because she loved so many. She told me when we said good-bye to remember her whenever we see sheep. I thought it would be chickens, LOL. I'll be counting sheep and thinking of you, Sheila, always.
