To the Mullin family - Sheila Mary demonstrated an incomparable love for her husband, children and grandchildren. She embodied strength of purpose and clarity of vision. My life is richer for knowing her. If all we leave behind is the love we give away, Sheila left a fortune. My loving thoughts and prayers are with you all.
