Not sure what to say?

The service today was a beautiful tribute of Sheila´s life and choices. Thinking of you, Bob and the comfort your choices have been to your dear Mom these last years. I´m sorry I never got to know you, Mike but all of her family especially will miss her very much. A loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend to all who knew and loved her. I first met your folks back in 1961 when I came to Tacoma in pursuit of a nursing job at Mary Bridge Children´s hospital. Many prayers are with you,...

Sheila and I go a long way back. She was a very good friend and stayed in a two room apartment with Loyce Overturf, Carol(can't remember her last name) and myself. The stay was short as Carol and Sheila found another room to rent. We had good times together and stayed in touch for quite a while. Sheila had a good sense of humor and was loyal to her choice to serve God. I know she will be missed but the memories will be good, Lillian Nelson

Mike and Bob - I remember your parents so fondly! We saw them all of the time! Great memories at Scott Lake too! I hope you boys are doing okay - love and condolences to you both

Our condolences go out to the Ostlund family and friends. We hold many fond memories of Sheila. Our earliest recollections date back to her time in nursing school, when she and two other young women-whose names I cannot recall-would come to our home for meetings and social occasions. Our dad, who had a great sense of humor, would joke with them and make them all laugh. Later, after Sheila and John were married, they became young people whom one could look up to and admire. We often saw them...

RIP Sheila

She & John were so hospitable & good friends, me with nursing career, & Bob as his golfing career. They were so kind to our 5 kids that kept window shopping at this UP shoe store. Rip sweet woman of Jesus

Bob and Mike, Our hearts go out to you as we know that your mom was a special friend to us and we are sure she was that and far more to you as well. She was a beautiful, kind, loving, caring person who truly wanted the best for everyone. Your folks are fondly remembered.
