Missing my best friend and mother (that is what she called herself). She was the only one allowed to boss me around and always had such great advice! Love you so much and miss you more than I thought was possible. The many hours we talked into the night I now talk to the sky and I do believe you are listening to me. The one person who understood feelings I felt and never judged me (that I knew of). My best buddy for so long and now u r gone. I know u r in a better place, happy and no longer feeling any kind of pain. One day I will see you again. Until then, Love you and your family always, Gwen

I will always remember Shelia as a caring woman. We became friends while she lived in my neighborhood, Eagles Landing,in Hinesville,and my older daughter went to school with her son Zachary, they will be reunited now in the arms of Jesus! My prayers go out to the family and espcially her daughter. Mrs. Venasta Myrick-Thomas ( Hinesville, GA)

I just found out about Sheila's passing last night. I am at a loss for words. May God bless her family and all of those who knew her. When my father died this past August, Sheila helped me process my feelings by sharing her own experiences. I will cherish those conversation. Your family will be in my prayers during this difficult time...

Sheila was a treasure. She was a source of comfort during difficult times and a source of laughter during those funny moments we all shared. I will miss her physical presence but will cherish her spirit --that will always be present --for all of us that knew her will carry her with us forever. God Bless all of her family during this time--you are in my prayers. Thank you Sheila for your light.

Words cannot express the loss I feel for Sheila being taken too soon from this earth. Sheila always spoke the truth in love. She was caring, forthright, and honest. I will always remember her kind and sensitive voice. Much love and comfort I pray for the family especially her children and grandchildren whom she loved so dearly. Sheila loved so many others in words and deeds. She will be dearly missed.
