Bonnie and I are saddened to hear of Sheila´s passing, as we so loved to see her and Jeff stop by and pick up our conversation from the previous summer. Finn Road will not be the same without her smile and caring ways. Sheila will always be remembered as a loving person who was always willing to share her last cookie, piece of fish or even her last dollar.
With Love,
Rudy & Bonnie Haapala

Jeff and family,
We are saddened to read of Sheila´s passing. She was such a beautiful soul, kindhearted, positive through difficult times, and a fierce fighter. We loved having her as a Finn Road neighbor!
We pray that God will wrap His loving arms around you and bring some comfort and peace through your grieving process. Sheila´s faith was very evident, so we know that she is in her heavenly home with no more pain and suffering. We´d like to think that she is dancing with Jesus!
Our deepest and heartfelt condolences.
