Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear this! My times with Sheila were during the time her kids were in high school. I was the JSA advisor and she would chaperone trips to the two JSA conventions in Los Angeles. We had many meals together while the students were at different workshops. Many interesting conversations would be had. I have many memories of those times. Rest in Peace, my friend.

Here we are, 4 great friends in front of one of our schools: this is State Street Jr High School. On the Sunday of our Hackensack 50th reunion we took a trip down memory lane. That´s me Beth, on the left, then Leanne (deceased) then Vicki, next, of course, our Sheila. Sheila was still her happy sweet, upbeat self. We all agreed that none of us had changed a bit. I would tell Sheila she was "New Jersey strong" these last years xoxo

Sheila was an amazing person and a wonderful friend. We always looked forward to our time spent with her and Mike. She was always so much fun to talk to. When she listened, she make us feel like we were the most important people to her. We will miss her dearly. Vilma and Brad Sams

I am so saddened to learn of Sheila's passing. She was indeed one of the bright lights at Mah Jongg where we met. I thought she had this thing beat, but glad that whatever grace gave us those few extra years. May she be long remembered and loved.

I am saddened that Sheila left us so soon. I just started to play Mah Jongg in Santa Maria, and Sheila was the first person to speak with me and make me feel comfortable in new surroundings. I enjoyed playing MJ with her even though I would always have to pay her when she won, and she won often! You could tell she loved the game. She is missed.

What a beautiful accounting of her life. She will surely be missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

I am so sad to hear of Sheila´s passing. I met Sheila through JSA at Righetti. She drove many a group to conventions in LA and she and I, and other chaperones had meals together. It was always fun to have her with our group and the many talks that we had. Please accept my sincere condolences..

Sweet Shee-lee will be so missed. It was an honor to know and love her, and to be loved by such a generous and abundantly kind woman-my deepest condolences to the Sales family.

My dearest and closest friend of over 60 years will be so missed. She was the sister I never had and I was so blessed to have her in my life.
