Chuck, Your mom was one of the kindest, sweetest, big-hearted ladies I have ever met. She always greeted me with a huge smile and was always concerned with what was going on with me and my famiy.
I will cherish the memories I have of her being in the church productions with me and sitting in the fellowship hall on Wednesday nights eating Supper made by Ivan and Carol while waiting for AWANA to start.
My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

We were so sorry and shocked about Sheila and had hoped she would make it and be a big miracle. She was such a nice person and wonderful Godly woman. She was a dear cousin to my late husband Mike and I. I am glad to have known her and be in her family. May God be with the family at this time. We love you!

I am so sorry for the loss of such a great mother, wife, aunt, sister, friend and Sister-in-Christ! She was loved by many and will be so missed by everyone that knew her. We all know, though, that she is no longer suffering and is dancing and singing with Jesus now and that can't help but bring a smile to anyone's face that knew Sheila! Love to all the family, so wish I could be there!
