Shelia was my sister and my friend, we had plans for our future after I retired. It really saddens me to know that we will never be able to travel the United States the way were going to together.
Shelia was alot of fun to be around and had her own special laugh so you always knew she was around when you heard her laugh.
I will miss her more then I can ever say.
She does live on in each of you kids, I see her in you every time I'm around you or talk with you. Each of you are special just as she was.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I had the pleasure of working with Shelia at S&W for 21 years. She was a great lady and always made sure to say hi even if it ment stopping by and visiting my family at my home. Shelia always made everyone around her feel welcome and cared about. She truly will be missed. May you keep her spirit and memories alive and celebrate what a wonderful lady she was and how many lives she touched while her on earth. I feel very honored that I not only had the chance to work with Shelia but I was also able to call her a friend.

Dear ones, I don't know if we've ever met but Sheila of course was one of our favorite cousins. She was always eager to be around family and never lost the passion of conversation. We were so blessed by our brief times together. We too will miss her. Cousins from Kansas.

My heart goes out to your family as I know how much Sheila loved and was loved by all of you. Sheila became a wonderful friend after I began working at Signature Fruit. We shared a love of cooking, Food Network, and CHOCOLATE!! Sheila's laugh and sense of humor kept us rolling and rolling. Sheila was a great friend who was always there to lend a hand and help out her friends and family. I will dearly miss my friend. May your memories give you comfort in this difficult time.

My sweet friend Anita...I was blessed with the opportunity to meet your mother on a few occasions and she was awesome. We shared our mutual love of food and she passes a recipe or two down to me. You and your family were blessed to have such a wonderful mother and grandmother. We are here for you my friend! I love you from the bottom of my heart!
