Dear Family ~ I am so sad to hear of Sheila's passing and wish that I had known in time to attend her funeral Mass and celebrate a life well lived!

Sheila was my manager for many years at Mindel and Small in Bethesda. I admired her very much as I watched her deftly juggle all of her family responsibilities with a full time real estate career. She set a great example for "getting it done no matter what it takes"!

Although years apart, we also both attended Holy Cross Academy and along with real estate, we'd laugh at our "shared experiences" from "old school" days. Sheila loved a good story and a good laugh!

Sheila was a strong leader, dedicated to her family and her commitments. She was way ahead of her time and I will miss her very much. God bless her and her loved ones. Blessings for all happy memories and peace of heart, Leslie

Sheila- I am sitting in the back of the church watching your lovely family (very tall I may add) graciously greeting and meeting each other as well as your many past clients, neighbors and co-workers- you will be remembered and I will miss our sporadic chats about the local office gossip' and just taking for granted you are still here on earth. Now at least you will always know what's going on'. Hope to see you again someday.

I was so sorry to hear about Sheila. She was one of my favorite clients and friend. When I went to the rehab to cut her hair. She was doing so well. I am really going to miss her. She was special to me
