To the family of Sheila Johnson,
What a joy it was to know your loved one, Sheila Elaine Johnson. Her smile could light up any dreary situation. I enjoyed our conversations about our pets and their personalities. She loved helping people and did not show partiality. Rest well Sheila, your mansion is waiting for you in heaven with your Father.
