I just found out about Sheila's passing and am so saddened and heartsick. We met in high school and became great friends. She was so full of life and made all of us around her laugh. She was such a joy to be around. We only communicated a few times of the year recently, but there were always thoughts of her when I would see something that brought back memories. We shared our love of Elvis! Went to my first Elvis concert with her! Her light is shining even more in the heavens. Love you dear Sheila!

I just found out about Sheila's passing. I was trying to reach out to her in May and June to catch up. What a special lady! Bright, expressive, beautiful, creative and intelligent. Sheila was so special. No wonder the stars are brighter - Sheila is there! :)

We were so shocked and saddened to hear the news about Sheila. She was a sweet, caring, ray of sunshine who brought happiness and joy to others. Working on the Zonta Antiques Show with her was always a treat. She was a "Welcoming Committee of One" who made the dealers, visitors, and all of the volunteers look forward to each year's event. Remembering all of the joy she brought to others is her legacy on earth, but Heaven's glory shines even brighter now that Sheila is there. Our prayers and our love go with you, Greg, and with all of the family. May God grant you comfort and peace.
Bless you.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear about Shelia’s passing. I have such clear and vivid memories of working at Rainer’s, babysitting Tyler, and getting to know the whole family. I even remember Peaches the dachshund. Sheila was a free spirit who always had a kind word for everyone and a love for fun. She clearly touched my life when I was at an impressionable age and I know that she spent many more years encouraging and uplifting other women. She will be missed greatly but not forgotten.

I'm so so sorry to hear about this sweet caring lady. After I lost my son in 2007 sheila would pull me aside every time she saw me just to say how she was thinking about me and praying for me as tears would steam down her cheeks. She always reminded me that she loved me. She was so loving and caring. The article in the paper referred to her as a "free spirit"which so fits. I couldn't come to the service because it conflicted with our butterfly release which sheila often came to. We missed her and will continue to miss her. Rest my sweet friend.

So sorry to hear of the passing of such a sweet, kind, caring, loving selfless lady. Sheila was a lady that truly cared about everyone. She is now loving on Jesus and making so many new friends in heaven. She is one lady that will never be forgotten. She will be missed by many. Love and prayers for the family.

Greg, Tyler and Sarah,

Is am so shocked and saddened about this news. She was such a loving and devoted friend and "sister" in Christ. Her passing was so premature and she will be missed by so many people. There are so many things about her that I am so thankful for, from helping me to pick out gifts, at gift shop, her enthusiasm at the antique show, to finally the untiring love and care she gave Margaret in her final days. I am so sorry that we will not be there today, I had surgery yesterday, but your family is held in our hearts today.

Love

Greg and Family, Ray and I both are so sorry for the loss of our dear friend. I have many cards and pictures of times together especially at the Longview Women’s Forum. She was a pleasure to work with, and a much better friend. She brought smiles, laughter, and delight to so many here in Longview. You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers now and in the days to come.
