Karen

I am so sorry - my love, thoughts and prayers are with you and Mark - Let me know if there is anything I can do for you at any time.

We winter in Yuma AZ and just happened to log on to the Statesman and found Sheldons obituary. We were so sorry to read of his death. Sheldon and I (Wayne) were school mates from grade school through our first year at BJC. We had some great times together and Gloria and I will never forget our old friend. May God bless you and keep you in His care during this time of great sorrow in your life. Wayne and Gloria Forrey

Karen,
Sorry to hear of your loss.

I will truly miss Sheldon, we had lots of good times. I considered him my best friend. The world is a better place because of his generosity and kindness toward all who knew him. I’m not saying he was a saint…he had his moments that his far outweighed his faults.

Thinking of you at this time.
I am visiting in Louisiana and will not be able to attend Sheldon's funeral but you all will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Sheldon will be remembered as a bigger then life kind of man.
My dad was always proud to call him a friend.
