To the family of Sheila, Dear heavenly father I ask that you hold this family close to you during this time of confusion and shock and heartache. I pray you guide this family and help them find some sort of peace. I pray that you guide them and answer their thoughts as to why?, and help comfort them through their tears and grief. In Jesus name Amen I will miss my mail lady who had made a point to come to my door and talk for a moment. She had a heart of gold knowing I had bad days. She did not hesitate and went out of her way to make sure I got my mail. God Bless Her and her family. She will be missed and was a great humanitarian to society. My heart felt like it dropped when I heard of this. Rest in peace Sheila. You are now an angel.

It was a blessing to have known her, even for a short while in my life. It’s tragic that she is gone so soon, and I send my heartfelt condolences to her husband and children, along with my love and prayers. God bless you all.

To Sheila’s family,
I retired from her post office six years ago, and she often subbed for me. Her smile, cheerfulness, willingness to help, positive attitude and friendship were some of her great qualities. I know the coworkers are suffering and empty. We lost a sub at work several years ago when he had a heart attack on premise and was not revived. The workers had such hard days in his absence. My prayers are for you. I am tremendously saddened for all of you.

I worked with Sheila many years ago at Allegan Printing, and whenever I’d think of her it was always fondly, remembering her warmth and kindness, and all the talking and laughter we shared. It was a blessing to have known her, even for a short while in my life. It’s tragic that she is gone so soon, and I send my heartfelt condolences to her husband and children, along with my love and prayers. God bless you all.

I don’t Remember where or when I met Sheila. I just know that she was one of those people who was a friend from the get go. Had the pleasure of working with her at the Fly Inn Restaraunt. Loved her family so. I will miss her. Prayers to Jeff, Tyler,Ashley & Tom. Also to her mother who I met while working while working at Subway.

Smiles and kindness, talking some worries or fears, sometimes the laughing so hard there were tears. But like the beautiful butterfly moving on around the lane, a beautiful memory will always remain.

My most sincere thoughts are with the family and friends of Sheila.
Such a tragic end of life to what sounds like a great person, who made everyone around her happy.
As a fellow postal employee, when I heard this news, my heart hurt.
I am so sorry for the loss you have suffered.
Life is far too short, and yes, it always the good ones who pay the price.
Always cherish the memories you have and take them with you everywhere you go.
You know, Sheila will always be watching over you, still taking care of you

To Sheila’s family,
I retired from her post office six years ago, and she often subbed for me. Her smile, cheerfulness, willingness to help, positive attitude and friendship were some of her great qualities. I know the coworkers are suffering and empty. We lost a sub at work several years ago when he had a heart attack on premise and was not revived. The workers had such hard days in his absence. My prayers are for you. I am tremendously saddened for all of you.
