I’ll forever miss you Auntie Sheila.
So sorry for your loss. It’s so hard losing your loved ones. My condolences goes out to your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sheila was always such a good friend to me. I remember the laughters and the fun times that we had spending together at the airport working in security. There’s anything that you could remember. When any of the airlines had something to say about you? She always made sure she made it right. She was a wonderful supervisor and a very caring friend. The Times that we met up when we had lunch together
The good times we talked about our families and how much she loved her. kids and grandkids, they meant so much to her. I remember how much Sheila loved diamond rings. She would always bring the little diamond. Scope to go over the diamonds to see how much their value was to see if they were valuable enough to buy. She had so many qualities about her. I just want her family to know how much she loved each and every one of you and how much she talked about her daughter’s being wonderful mothers. She will be greatly missed. I’m glad I got to know your mom. She was a very special friend to me. May god be with her and your family at this time.
I loved your mom. Our mom’s were close growing up as all of you who we all played together. Sorry for your loss our moms will be reunited! Much love and respect 🙏 prayers are with you and your family.
