Sheila was my highschool English teacher and Spanish teacher. She was always fun and kept us in stitches. She would tell the class about her adventures in Mexico and her fear of driving over bridges. I only remember one time that she was upset with our class. We were studying " Romeo and Juliet" in English literature. She didn't think we were taking it serious enough. She had the sweetest , loving spirit ! I know she will be deeply missed by many but she will never be forgotten.
