Sheila was LOVED by many and if you knew her as family or friend you were lucky. She was the most happy, loving, welcoming, confident, strong soul and caring person you would have the pleasure to encounter. She was the most unique and special person that touched so many hearts and never wavered from who she was and what she believed in. She taught her family so much that will be carried on for generations. The number one thing is to never give up. She also gave a new meaning to the word FIGHT. She fought for many years just to stay with her family. We love you Mom, Gram, Sis, and Aunt Sheila, you will be deeply missed.
