Don,
I always loved seeing you and Sheila at the gym for many years. Covid ruined all that - haven´t been back since. You have my sincere sympathy and many happy remembrances of your beautiful wife.

Sheila was a beautiful soul. A friend from MMA & the old Seneca St/ St. Theresa's sorority group. A beautiful bunch of South Bflo. females. Sheila was a sweetheart! God rest her beautiful soul and take care of her, Lord.
