My condolences to all those who loved her, especially her children. Jessica and I have been friends for many years, but I finally had the opportunity to meet Sheila (I was I introduced to her as mom), around a month before her passing. She welcomed me into the home with open arms and was kind and welcoming. I’ve been praying that God surrounds the family with His comforting arms.
So sorry for your loss
Dear Adria, Erika, Jessica, David and family…… We are so saddened to hear of Shelia passing. She was such a lovely lady- so warm, kind and caring. We are sorry we were not able to attend her funeral. May God strengthen and comfort you during this most difficult time. Praying God will surround you with His love and draw you close to Him. With Love and prayers….. Randy and Vicky Neiswender
