Sheila , was a person who loved to laugh and have a good time . She always treated me like I was a special friend. Her size was small but her presence was large and powerful. We were saying good bye to some friends and she in a humorous way told everyone she was glad they got to see her. I will miss her beautiful smile.

I knew Sheila and her parents way back when. Liked them all very much. She and I had mutual friends and hung out together. I am sorry to hear of her passing. Travel well my friend, and see you on the other side.

Sheila and I went to High School together at St. Francis. The last time I saw her was at Swabbie's on the river and we laughed and danced together. Her laugh and love for life was contagious. She will be missed. Thank God for Heaven so we can see her again.
