    I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with my parents, Chick and Sheila. Easter and Christmas dinners, lunches out, trips to South Padre, playing games and so much more. She was one of the most generous people I’ve ever met. I’m so thankful we were able to have a lovely visit with to celebrate her birthday. I can just imagine how happy Chick is that they are together again. Love, peace and hugs to Robin, Kurt and the entire family.

    Sheila was a wonderful neighbor in Texas, and a good friend. She was blessed to be relieved of her pain and suffering. I will miss our lengthy telephone visits while back home in Amery.. I will treasure the many “crafty” cards that she made for me. Thank you, Sheila

    I just finished watching the tribute you put together for Sheila. Beautiful! I was blessed to be with her during the many winters in Harlingen, TX. We enjoyed many Red Hat, ‘Dixie Darlins’ Activities together. We enjoyed a wonderful cruise to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. Four of us, Rosemarie Bezenah-Williams, Ginger Doherty, Sheila and I took a wonderful Texas Hill Country Road Trip. Sheila and Ginger rode in the back seat and giggled every mile like teenagers. Each Wednesday during the winter months, six of us played dominoes. Sheila and I talked with each other via phone during our summers apart. Dixieland Retirement Community will miss Sheila and her beautiful smile. RIP Sheila. My love and prayers to Kurt, Robin, and Sheila’s entire family. Sincerely, Rosa Mae Pennington

    I just watched her tribute also. We had so many fun trips shopping and going out to lunch, both in Texas and up north and the two weeks I spent in Texas with her after we sold our place were so much fun. During Covid and her illness I really missed her but we still had our long telephone chats until she wasn’t up to it anymore. We could talk about anything and everything. I will truly miss her but I am happy for the memories. With love and prayers to Robin, Kurt and the entire family, my sincere sympathy..
