Sheila was one of the most remarkable people I've ever met. I wish I could have been at her memorial service, but I'm sure she would have preferred that I'm out here on the border fighting to save the environment and the community from the forces of big business and bigotry. My deepest sympathy to her family, especially Kristen -- she was so proud of you. And I am proud to have been Sheila's friend.
