Hey, "Big Brother." I have told you countless times in the past how I always appreciated how you looked out for me when times were tough. As a kid, the world can be a scary place, and if I ever needed advice, a safe place to hang out, or just some big laughs, you were always one of my go-to people. As I grew up, you always showed an interest in how I bettered myself, and were quick to tell me I was on the right path. I will miss our great conversations, but I am comforted in the fact that I can chat with you whenever I need a great friend with a sympathetic ear, but I promise not to talk it off :)

Until we meet again,
Your "Baby Sister"

Sheldon I got the pleasure of meeting you in middle school. You drove me crazy. You was always an amazing friend. You stood by my side in high school when I was pregnant when others turned away. You would tell me every morning stop hiding the basketball. You was always so kind hearted and always had someone laughing even when they didn't want to. You have left a mark on everyone's heart that met you. We all have our own special memories of you and we all love you in our own special way. You are dearly missed albritton. R.I.P Sheldon. With love.

Lidia, I am so sorry for your loss and for your children. I remember when I taught little Sheldon in prek at Palm View-when I first met you. Sometimes Shelon would pick him up from school and he was always so happy to see his son. God bless all of you.
Love, Margie Cornell-Ms. Alexander when I taught Sheldon.

Sorry to hear of Sheldons passing...He was a good neighbor out in Frog Creek and besides that nobody could fillet my mullets like Sheldon. ( still can't)Not wearing shoes must've been fashion cause whether they were full grown or kids nobody wore shoes in that house ... Yep my son became one of the barefoot bunch. He would tell me they are only feet.. Rip Sheldon ..

My first memories of Sheldon are from way back in elementary school and the many times all us kids would get together and play baseball at Palm View Church. Thinking back, I don't think he liked wearing shoes back then either :) Many thoughts and prayers go out to all of Sheldon's family and friends. May he RIP

Sheldon was one of a kind, I don't remember to many times growing up seeing him wear a pair of shoes, him being away from the water or not having a conversation that envoled the talk of fish. I will forever remember and love you cousin!
