Dear Mrs. Byrne & Family...
I remember Sheila when we were girls in the same neighborhood. (Sandhurst Ave. Calgary). She helped me fit-in with the others, after we moved there. We went skiing several times, and played music in your downstairs den. I also remember you always welcomed me into your home. May God continue to bless you along your own journeys in this life. I will miss Sheila, my good friend when we were girls.
...My name then was(Patti Gray)

My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I went to school in Canmore and worked on the Million Dollar Strip. I remember Sheila and her smile.

Dear Mrs. Byrne, Alicia, Ryan and Eddie,

I work with Dr. Hennings and knew Sheila for the past 7 years. She always had a fun, positive energy when she came into our office. She had big smile for everybody and always took the time to pay me a nice compliment. She was always thoughtful and polite. She had a great sense of humour and always made me smile. Throughout the years, she remained one of my dearest patients and I will miss her phone calls and her visits. My thoughts are with all of you during this time and I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Byrne Family,
I had gone to school with Sheila at Sunalta School and even though we went on with our seperate lives, I remember her kind and gentle spirit. It was an honour to know her. I'm so sorry for your loss.
