To Sheila’s pride and joy… her family. How do you sum up in words how you feel right now as you say good bye to such an admirable lady. Sheila and I started out as classmates, we graduated together, went to university together, taught together and continued on our friendship well after we retired and YES shared many laughs and heartfelt conversations over luncheons at the Brittany Inns. I too was a member of that retiree group( the mafia as we were named). Sheila was our social butterfly who reminded us each month. She loved getting together and sharing our lives. Most of all she loved to laugh and even with all she was dealing with throughout her illness, she saw fit to smile and reminisce. I hope we continue our luncheons in her honour but they will never be the same.
In closing I share the words Sheila chose to put on one of her homemade cards she sent me just a few months back when I was not feeling up to par. (Remember she was dealing with her own battles at that time)….Faith is about trusting even when you don’t understand… Hang in there! Now I pass these words onto Lee, Devon and the rest of Sheila’s family.
Rest easy my beautiful friend. ♥️
