I grew up babysitting Jodi and John John...they were like my little brother and sister. We always had fun and they called me their big sister. I was always in awe of Sheila, I would sit and watch her put on make up even when I wasn't babysitting bc I was always down at her house when we lived on Trinity Church Road. I remember her calling me to have me come in and see John John when he had is accident and sitting with him at night to give everyone else a rest..I loved Sheila like a second Mom and truly felt that Jodi and John John where my little brother and sister ..... They were truly a part of my family and I always felt like I was part of theirs...
