Sheila was a dear cousin. I will never forget how, when I was very young, Sheila attended to me in our Grandma Gray´s wonderful play kitchen in Douglas, Washington. She was kind as a young girl, and remained kind throughout the decades of her life. She is missed.

My family and I all knew Sheila, and her family. She was a lovely person to know and be with. I feel very blessed to have known her in this world and look forward to see her in the next.

Sheila was a wonderful neighbor to have. We will miss seeing her out in her yard and waving as she drove past our house. Rest in peace Sheila.

My mom and I loved Sheila. We both knew her from Safeway. She was great about keeping up with mom even after I moved her to my home in Toledo. I will always think fondly of my loving, and caring friend!
