Sheldon, we crossed paths in 2005. I think of you often and the memories we made. In a short time, you showed me life. I have been looking for you for the last 6 years and never would have thought to find you have passed. We share a Birthday and to some extent, a soul. I miss you my friend. I can guarantee you have the angels laughing, riding motorcycles, watching the races and rooting for the Vikings. Rest in peace my love and please come and visit me in spirit. You would be very proud of what I am doing these days.
Love you always,
Lisa

I was so blessed to meet this kind soul when I was 15 and he became my stepfather. He showed me love and kindness that I had not known before. Because of him his mother now has two great grandchildren (my girls) and is and always has been one of the loves of my life. Thank you Sheldon I love and miss you.

Im so glad we got to live it out together. We had alot of fun and if people only knew they'd be shakin their heads at the story's. I miss you so much buddy.Wish you couldve stayed around so we couldve did all the things we planned in that old truck. love you Sheldon.

I was so shocked when I found this Guest Book. Sheldon was my cousin, but we only really knew each other when we were young. He was a teenager the last time I saw him.
My deepest condolences to all his friends and family, especially his mom and his son. I hope to one day be able to meet Chris. It is very sad that he died without our families being able to reunite.
This battle with cancer I am sure was very difficult, so may you rest in peace now. Goodbye Sheldon, I will miss you.

I am so truly sad to learn that my cousin Sheldon passed away. We did not grow up together and never met but he was able to track me down and we spoke a few times and then he dropped off the grid, now I know why, so very sad. I would very much like to get in touch with his mom, his son (and son's mom). Sheldon's mom is my Dad's younger sister. If anyone can help us connect that would be very kind; my e-mail address is: [email protected]. May your soul rest in peace dear cousin - Arti.

come with me god saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be.So He put his arms around him, And whispered,come with me. With tearful eyes We watched him suffer,And saw him fade away.ALTHOUGH WE LOVED HIM DEARLY, WE could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped healing,Hard working hands to rest God broke our hearts to prove to Us He only takes the best.
