Words never express what you and your family must be feeling right now. Praying for comfort, peace and know that you have people from all walks of life who love and support you. Moms are all special and play an integral roll to each and everyone one of us. She will be missed but never forgotten.

I came to know Sheila at a difficult time. She kept me on my toes. In the short time I got to know her, she impressed me with her love for her family, protective nature and ability to speak her mind. We didn’t always agree but she recently called me friend and I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

The death of your loved one Shelia is one of the most devastating experiences your family will face. At times, the pain of the loss will feel unbearable. Please know that there are friends who care about you and your family during this difficult time and more importantly Psalm 34:18 tells us that “God is near to those that are broken at heart.” We pray that Jehovah the God of all comfort is with your family during this difficult time of grief.
