Sheila Mathews Allen

I first met Sheila after seeing her in a play written by Steve Allen called, "The Wake." We soon became good - and eventually great and close - friends. In 1999 a friend of mine and I formed a company called Synthesis Entertainment and we worked closely with Sheila on the management and development of her husband's creative properties. She was a tremendous partner but an even more tremendous person. Always upbeat, always positive - even in the grip of a horrible illness. To say she was...

My thoughts and prayers are with your family. May the God of all comfort comfort you during this time of great sorrow.

To Sheila's family and friends, especially Jayne - my thoughts are with you all.

Sheila would "pop" into the Warner Brothers offices during productions on which Irwin was "totally" involved and Sheila there to give her loyal support.

A great lady with a great heart.
