I was looking for an address or phone for Sheila because my cell phone lost all my numbers. When I found Sheila’s obituary. I am so sorry to hear of her passing.
Rest in peace Sheila and may all her family be comforted at this time of loss. We were friends through REC and she was so dedicated to this ministry. You are all in our prayers.
She will be missed. Had the pleasure of taking care of her. She was an awesome lady.
Bobby & Debbie: I’m not sure you remember me, but I knew your mother (& dad, just a little) when they camped at Bayview Campground many years ago…A couple of years ago, I got reaquainted with your mother thru my ‘Why Catholic” group..just wanted to extend my sympathy to you both & tell you I thought she was one fine lady who’s heart was truly tuned into God!
