I will see u soon sweet woman. Make sure you tell my grandma I love her. I remember working answering the phone for u and David. And watching the kids. I so sorry I couldn’t be back home. You will be missed by many and loved by all.
Praying for the family that the Lord Jesus Christ will give them peace and this time of need.
I have loved you all your life and I will remember and miss you the rest of my life and am so glad you will be waiting for me with my grandmother, your Aunt Alice .
I have so many memories of my cousins, especially of Sheila. She had that special laugh that would make you remember and laugh with her. The summer before I graduated from high school…it was filled with laughter over the trouble Sheila and Cindy and I could have gotten into when we worked as waitresses helping Aunt Velma run the midnight shift at the Broadway Resturant. So many interesting people showed up there for something to eat after the clubs closed down. Sheila’s dry wit and sense of humor kept me laughing as we would discuss the interesting people we met. Sheila was the most level headed and had helped me make an impression on my husband to be!
I am so glad that I had recently talked to Sheila and found out how much she loved her life and family.
