My heart is broken. I loved you Shelia. You and Willie were a joy to be around. Our talks on your porch were a blessing. You taught me how to use a canning pressure cooker. You and Willie shared your vegetables with us. You and I worked together. I have comfort knowing that you are in the arms of our sweet Jesus.

I had the honor of meeting and taking care of Mrs.Sheila and her beautiful family during her recent hospital stay on 2East. I could see how much she loved her family first hand. No words can ever take the pain of losing a loved one away, but I hope you all know my thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank you for letting me know her and care for her- even for a short time. I know she is looking down on all of you and at peace with Jesus.
