I was sad when Shelia left TMA. Sadder now that we won't be able to meet for lunch. Saddest for her family & friends Shelia's left behind. I definitely miss her encouraging smile & kind words.

I worked with Shelia at The Toledo Museum of Art and knowing her as a fine lady and a good friend taught me that while man can create art only God can create someone as special as Shelia. I am truly sorry for
your loss.
