Sandi...Cheryl...Curtis,Jr. Kayla, Char, and Little Dana...May God tend the pain and anguish in your hearts...May we all be able to see God's plan in this situation. I know each of you will pull together to stand strong against the days to come...I will miss Sheila being there when I take my memory back home to Indiana...and she is not there to ask about...talk about...or see. I will see her in her in the faces of her beautiful girls...in their smiles and laughter...in their eyes that sparkle like Sheila's...Lord be merciful to this family...

Dear Haywood Family,

I can not express just how sorry I am for your lose. Sheila was a very, very special person with a true heart of gold. We used to hang out as children, but had lost contact through the years and from all of my moving around. The last time I saw her was about 3 years ago. When we saw each other it was as if we had never lost a beat. Her beautiful smile and infectious laugh will always echo in my mind. Most of all her kindness and warmth will inspire us and live on in our hearts forever. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.



With my deepest sympathy,

Julie

My heart aches for mom,sister, brother and children. Your children are not suppose to leave this world before you, but some times they do, as I know. It is not fair, but we are selfish for this. The memories will last a life time, your love will never die.Time will heal your hearts. I can only hope & pray for "mom" to keep her strength as her grandchildren & children need her as she needs them. With lots of Love from Florida, God Bless you all, may you receive an understanding as well as strength. We are so Sorry for your Loss.

God's plan is always bigger than ours. He obviously needed an Angel that was full of life! To her daughters, my heart goes out to you. We can never understand why but we must choose to accept God's plan and keep our memories close to our heart. Sandi, I can not even fathom what you are going through. My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

IT IS SO HARD TO BELIEVE I WON'T BE ABLE TO CALL YOU AND MEET AT THE SUPER WAL-MART AND THEN GO SHARE OUR STEAK SANDWICH AT CHILLI'S AND THEN JUST GO SHOPPING AROUND. MY HEART ACHES MY WHOLE BODY ACHES BUT YOUR PAINS ARE NO LONGER THERE. I LOVE YOU AND THERE WON'T BE A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I WISH I COULD BE HOLDING YOU AND TELLING YOU THAT I LOVE YOU.

Not just my only sister, but my best friend.

spent all our lives side by side, If not in person certainly in mind. Never a dull moment when she was around, and when she laughed Oh lord what a sound. I hate that God had to call her to go, How I'll go on I just don't know. When she left it broke my heart. No more mom, me, and Sheila at the super Wal-Mart. I'll never forget her as long as I breath, And we'll meet again when it's my turn to leave. I love you sis and miss you so much, If you get some time there in heaven keep in touch.

I am so sorry that this has happened. I have a hard time believing that it HAS happened. Knowing Sheila practically all my life will always give me special memories. Though we hadn't been in alot of contact lately, I have often thought about her. I pray that you, her family, can be strong thru this most difficult time. I love you all. If there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to ask.
