Gillian, For the past fifty years your Mother was a true and loyal friend. I have such wonderful memories of her. She was someone very special and be miss by all who had the good fortune to know her. She will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Gillian, Alexander, Christine and Sheila's grandchildren: Please accept my deepest sympathy. I don't have to tell you what a delightful person Sheila was. The twinkle in her eye never dimmed. Sheila is one of my happiest memories of the years I covered social events for a couple of Chicago newspapers. She worked hard for her causes, she loved her family and she celebrated life. Surely, her spirit will remain with us. Sheila, Alex and all of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
