To Shelia's Friends, Co-workers, and Sorors:
The family of Shelia High King is most appreciative of your kindness and thoughtfulness as we remember the life of Shelia on this earth. Shelia was a woman who impacted and influenced friends, family, associates, and coworker with whom she had meaningful and deep relationships. We are so blessed and highly favored to have an example of a person who had intense loyalty, love and forgiveness to her friends and family. Shelia was an intense lover of life. She shared her fun and passion for engagement in fun. She was a hard worker and a lover of family and the development of relationships. As a sister to my “big sister” I will miss her intensely. She taught me so much. She influenced me greatly. We are friends, sisters, compatriots, workers in field to better the lives of others. I am thankful that because of the love of God (John 3:16) I will see her again. Thank you for knowing her.
