Evan, Susan, Heyward, and Kacie,
I am still reeling from the tragedy with Sheldon. Angela Andrews and I are best friends and my children and I were always over at her house on Bagpipe Circle. So, I remember Sheldon and Evan growing up. My favorite memory is when Nick and Sheldon had been in the back woods shooting bebe guns. Some lady called the Game Warden on them and he was patrolling at the woods when I arrived. Nick ran and Sheldon climbed a tree waiting for him to leave. However, I got out and talked to the officer and called the boys and they came to me. I claimed them as my own and took sole responsibility. Of course, I defended them. The officers put them in my care and left. I think they were both scared out of their wits. I know that they thought they were going to jail! I know that words really cannot express anything compared to your hurt and anguish. I know, I have been in your place with my father. Time doesn't heal you, it just stops the memory from hurting so badly. Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers.
In His Love, Jan

Sheldon and I sort of started out life together as best friends in elementary school. I can't quite yet comprehend that I will never see him again. Although Sheldon and I lost touch over the years I will never forget the memories we made. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Heyward,Evan & family,
I have just found out about Sheldon and my heart is just broken. I have not see you guys in awhile but I have never forgotten those precious boys that I use to keep. I will never forget the night that I found out about Janet. I was just in high school and had come home from a SF football game, when my parents broke the news to me. Heyward, I know that you and Mrs. Lee did a great job with them. Please know that I have here for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you will get this email and know that I am thinking of you. Evan, please let me know if I can do anything for you. You can reach me at 393-3277.

I just saw Sheldon leaving Tech on Wednesday, I guess that's why it really hasn't sunk in that he's gone. I didn't know him that well but we graduated together and had class together our senior year. From the times I did talk to him, I knew that Sheldon was an all around great guy. He will truly be missed. To his family and close friends, my prayers are will you. God Bless y'all.

I didn't know Sheldon really well but he and I had class together during our senior year at South. From the times he and I did talk and even running into him just a few months ago, Sheldon was a great guy to me and he truly will be missed. I still can't accept that he's gone...I just saw him 4 days ago but I know he's in a better place now. My prayers are with his entire family and friends.

To the Lee Family,
My heart breaks for you. Sheldon was a friend of my son (Seth). They were in the same class at Florence Christian School. My older son graduated with Evan and Kacie. There aren't words to express what I'd like say. Know that you are in the hearts and prayers of more people than you can imagine, lifting you up to the Father, at this time.
Sincerely,
Terrye Staggs
