    I worked with Shelia at Kmart for several years. She was always a kind, warm, funny lady with an unimaginable inner strength when she needed it most. Although I had not seen her for several years, I always kept track of her and Marcus through my mother, Carol Kay Moore. She will definitely be missed.
