Mark, sorry to hear about Sheila passing away. I took care of my wife Carol at home, then had Hospice help me until she passed away in July 2001.

Sheila had a wonderful spirit and a great sense of humor. I recently reconnected with Sheila after almost 44 years when I found out that she lived in Columbus, OH - close to where I live in Newark, OH. She and I talked openly about her disease and she was quietly peaceful about her prognosis. Sheila and I were in the Central Catholic High School Orchestra and our recent conversations focused on our mutual memories and friends. I will miss Sheila, but know that she is in a better place.
