    I am a classmate of Sheila’s from Purvis High School Class of 1983. I am praying for Sheila’s family during this difficult time. Praying for peace and comfort that passes all understanding! I am so thankful she isn’t suffering any longer.

    I will always remember the good times we had at holidays and outings we had with Sheila and the rest of our family members. She was a great daughter-in-law and devoted to her family! Will miss her, but know she's with God and out of the misery that cancer brought upon her. Love you, Sheila, and will see you in heaven someday.
