To all of Sheila's family and friends I offer a prayer of comfort and encouragement to you, as I know the pain of this loss never goes away. We will never forget. Much love from Texas

Dear Sheila,
Yesterday was an especially hard day for the 10th Anniversary of 9.11 When reflecting on such tragedy it can become overwhelming and too easy to fall back into an abbess of emotions that range from anger, loss and deep sadness. The prayers and support of people all around the world makes the event meaningful and sacred.

This year 9.11 fell on a Sunday and it is being commemorated as a day of service to others. I think it is a good thing to channel all those emotions into something productive. Our church youth group helped with an Outreach project to feed people locally and internationally.

One more thing I wanted to share with you is James' prayer he shared with the congregation for Peggy and you. His words were so pure and sweet. “Dear Lord, Please help my Mom’s friend Peggy whose life-partner was killed when the plane hit the Pentagon. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.”

James is now 12 years old, in middle school and trying to find his pre-teen way in the world. Strange to think that he will never know you and yet he understands how much you mean to “Miss Peggy.”

We have seen less of Peggy in recent years but we have managed to keep in touch through e-mail. Next summer when we take off across the country on our “Great American Road Trip” in our used “new” motorhome we will swing by her way and check in to see what she is up to.

Sweet woman – you are missed and always remembered.
Love Kate

I think about you and Peggy from time to time and especially on the anniversary of 9/11. I just thought I’d let you know I was thinking about the two of you and to thank you for your inspiration .

Dear Shelia, I think of you often. The good times we had together as I was growing up. The camping trips we would take, the train rides at Mr. Hamiltons house and the weekends I spent with you and dad. You are not forgotten. Tell we see each other again. Love Steve

On Oct. 11, 2006, 1 mile was ridden to honor the life of Sheila and all those she left behind. May you find some comfort in knowing that you do not grieve alone and that your loved one will never be forgotten.

Sheila, may you rest in peace.

Dear Sheila,

It has been 5 years and so much has happened and yet there is still so much the same.

The things that have happened:

James is growing like a weed. You would like the kid he is growing up to be. I am sure he would challenge your great sense of humor! He and Peggy get along famously.

Peg has a new home and is finally making her way into the new adventures of "retirement." We went to visit her in her new place.

Hanging in the living room is a beauiful painted portrait of you. I think you would like it.

One thing that is still the same after five years:

Peggy, your Mom and your friends miss you beyond words.

Love and prayers,

kr

Dear Sheila,

It's always tough this time of year for those of us here. Peg has escaped all the crazy press for the weekend and is actually managing to keep her sense of humor.

She is trying to keep busy with many projects, but it's hard for the month of September.

And still... we wish you were here.

Thinking of you,

Love Kate

Sheila you will always remain in Sue's and my thoughts. Your laughter and Peg's still blend and fill our heads with happiness. Rest in peace, and keep the light glowing until we join you.

As a little girl Sheila was my world. A very loving woman and a wonderful mother to my sister and I. I have read all the wonderful things that everyone has written about her and all the lives she has touched over the years. I miss you Mom, Love Dea

Dear Sheila,

I wish you could have been with Peggy during her spring visit with us here in NH.

We spoke of you often. We laughed and we cried together ... sometimes it felt like you were there holding us.

As pieces of our hearts come back together we remember you and we are thankful for having you as our friend.

Love your Friend,

Sheila was my teammate in the Executive Leadership Class of 2001. I will always remember our last day as she related that she had grown and learned so much. I miss her gentleness and her intelligence...My condolences to family and friends.

Dear Sheila,

I just wanted you to know that we are thinking about you and we miss you. My thoughts and prayers have often been with you, Peggy and your family.

Don't worry about Peg. We are trying to take care of her and she is trying her best to take care of herself.

Although our hearts are especially heavy today, we give thanks to the light, love and laughter you gave to us in your short stay.

Love your Friend

Sheila had a wry, open wit that combined perfectly with my sarcasm and love of laughter. I am heartbroken over losing her as a co-editor on our newsletter staff. She was a great pleasure to work with; professional, dependable and talented. I miss her bright smile and bouncy curls...

I worked with Shelia during my 5 years in the Pentagon. She was my shoulder to cry on and the one I always went for advice. Although, some time has past, I am still shaken by her passing. I miss you Shelia.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

Sheila worked next to me for many months and in some ways was the big sister I never had. When I finally came to terms with her passing, I cried all weekend long. Sheila was one of the warmest, kindest people I have ever known. One night I came over and made dinner, and then we drank our fill and listened to James Taylor until around 2 a.m. I met her partner Peg only briefly, and I feel horrible that I could not bring myself to visit her. I'm just not ready. Sheila had lost her dad recently and that such a nice person would suffer that much is beyond my powers of comprehension. I think of you every day, Sheila.

I am truly blessed to be able to wear the band of Sheila Hein. I pray for her surviving family and friends everyday. If you knew her personally, please post information about yourself and or relatives that I might pray more specifically. May God bless you and keep you.

I chose a Mercy Band from the Pentagon. I am proud and honored to wear Shiela's name, and share my life's adventures with her daily. She is a reminder to me of everything that I have to be thankful for; husband, kids, granddaughters.

On 10/20, the Renaissance committee at Seoul American H.S. sponsored a walk that raised $21,000+ to benefit the children of victims of the terrorist attacks. All 800 people who walked walked for 3 victims. I walked for Ms. Hein and four others because my friend, Pat Reddy of FORSCOM personally knew them. I am sorry for your loss. We Americans overseas mourn with you.
