Not sure what to say?

Dear Bob and Margaret, I knew Sheila and the two of you as patients in the dental office where I was the chair side assistant for almost 15 years. We have all shared laughter and some tears during those years. Sheila was such a sweet, charming and comforting woman with a bit of sassy humor! She will be greatly missed by many. My condolences to the rest of the family whom I have not met. Much love, Joan Audette

She gave me a pep talk when I was a new prosecutor that I never forgot. She was kind, funny, and kept us squared away. My best to you and yours.

A legend of a lady.... tremendous knowledge and history of the inner workings of the Office. Such a joy and pleasure to work with. Always brightened the day. Deepest condolences to the Family.

Dear Margaret , Tim and Bob. I am so very sorry for the loss of one of the most lovely persons I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I have never forgotten nor will I ever forget the very first time I met Shelia as a young ADA fumbling about in the probation department. She got right up, walked directly over to the counter and in her comforting way asked how could she help me. After that we became life long friends. She became part of our family. A Mary Poppins to my boys. So many...

To the Sheehan Family, I was sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Throughout the years I enjoyed her help and the fact that she always smiling at the DA's Office. She will be missed. Sincerely, Brendan O'Toole MSP CPAC

Sheila, Tim, and Bob I met Sheila in 1989 when I worked as a bar advocate. She was gracious, friendly and helpful whenever I interacted with her. Then, when I joined the District Attorney's Office in 2001, I came to know her humor and compassion. I certainly cannot enumerate all the times she helped me in my roll as an Assistant District Attorney, or brought a smile to my face with a well told humorous story, but I will forever be grateful to have know Sheila and to have had the pleasure...

Bob, Margaret, and Timothy my condolences for the passing of a great Lady. Shelia was extremely helpful to so many lawyers, Police Officers, and people trying to navigate the court system. She knowledgeable, helpful, and understanding. I knew and fortunately was helped by Shelia for over twenty years. She was understanding and above all fun as we tried to navigate through the DA´s Office and courts. RIP and thanks for helping me Shiela. Sgt Kevin Devine, SPD

Margaret Ann , Tim snd Bob, we are so sorry to hear of Mom´s passing. Mom was a loving and caring person. A great mom to her two children and very proud of them. As a teen, I enjoyed sitting in Sheila´s kitchen and getting advice from her and hearing her stories. Sheila lived life to the fullest. She will be dearly missed. Now in heaven with her family having a good time. So glad we got to see her at Mary and Wally´s memorial service. God bless love Janet and Rich

Sheila was such an important person to so many people ...something that occurred simply by being herself. Within the court system she did her job with great skill and professionalism, but there was always something more. Her presence was calming, reassuring, stress relieving and oh so nurturing to so many...young and older, support staff and attorneys ... it is impossible to quantify or categorize what she did and how much it meant to so many. Bob, Margaret and Tim ... your loss is different...
