    My deepest condolences to the family on the loss of this beautiful woman. I haven’t seen Sheila in many, many years but she was a good friend to my sister Diane and we attended the same church growing up. Such a tragic loss and I wish the family and loved ones an abundance of peace and love.

    I met Shelia while working at RCS. She loved the Lord. She loved her family. She loved RCS and her students. This was reflected in her daily life. She will truly be missed.
