When it comes to remarkable Christian couples, Bob and Sheila Blecksmith reside way up there on our list! They loved and complemented one another uniquely and beautifully. They parented three amazing children and revered their grandchildren. And Sheila, among her many virtues, was as authentically sweet a woman as we have ever known.

Sheila was the person with the "always smile"... She was cheerful and positive, and that is how she greeted us, wherever we met. We will miss her. She was truly one of God's diamonds, here on earth and she will be missed.

I just found out via Internet. Sheila was beautiful inside and out. I enjoyed singing in the church choir with her long ago. Prayers for her family.

Oh precious Sheila. I just found out. I know her faith was so strong and she had a clear hope for her future. I look forward to the day when I can wrap my arms around her and she will be in perfect health again. Love to her family

Sheila was a devoted follower of Christ, prayer warrior, Bible study sister, and friend when we knew her in Grass Valley. Our sincere condolences to Bob and the family.

Robert..! Right now I don´t know what to say, so I´ll work at putting a letter together with some thoughts. As MARIE and I "passed through" Calif. she (and her boots) walked into our lives! So, God put you two into our lives. We, Marie and I, have thanked HIM for you two many times over the years. .... I´ll work on that letter.
