Though we didn't stay in touch, I remember some of the times we had. Once I heard the news, my jaw dropped, couldn't believe it. We went to high school together, hung out with friends together, being young and dumb. I actually think about you all the time, whenever I pass by your old house. Which is often.

Rest in eternal peace Sheila.

My name is Georgia Shelton of Hallsville ISD. Emily was one of my dear friends. I had just moved to kilgore right before her accident.
The last thing Emily said to me was, You can't leave me. That has
been troubling my mind. I would like to pass a message on to Emily
to please keep fighting and repeat the same message she said to
me that day I left HISD. You can't leave me.
I am trying very hard to locate someone so that I can speak with them and pray for Emily. Please call me at 903-218-5579.
Thank you and Love and blessings to you all.
I am so sorry for the loss of Emily's mother. I cannot Imagin how hard
this must all be for her family. Again my name is Georgia Shelton
and I am 11 years old and I am leaving my phone number for someone to please call me and let me know how Emily is doing and to give her a message that I am praying for her. Even if she cannot
hear you, I know that her heart will hear it.

Sheila,
You will be remembered fondly as a little ball of fire. You always made me laugh and you really took me under your wing when I first moved to VA , I will always appreciate that. There is not a day that goes by that you do not cross my mind for some reason or another. I know we lost touch but you will always be in my heart. The Greene family is in my prayers.
Sheila, you will be missed but I will always remember the short time we had together and smile.
