As pastor of Second Presbyterian Church, I visited Mabel every few months. I so enjoyed our chats about worship, church music and churches. She was and is a gracious, elegant and truly beautiful spiritual woman. I will miss our visits yet trust we will see each other again someday.

Thank you for being a good friend, Miss Sheckles. You will be forever in my heart. I love you and I will be missing you.

A student of yours from St. Edmund's Parochial, Albert Hudson Jr., of which you transformed into Captain von Trapp in our 8th grade play The Sound Of Music. Thanks Ms. Sheckles! Class of '81.
