She lived a full life leading us all as a great example of love, loyalty and devotion.

I cherish our many fun- filled years in Elementary & High School days, both with Sheila & Bill. Our adult visits were free but memorable in a comfortable "forever friends" manner. Sheila was a very special & precious woman. I was blessed to have known her. Connie Sweeney (Sister Raeleen)
