  • Our family only had the privilege of meeting Sheila once, during a trip she and Gary made to Victoria in April 2013 to visit Jeff and Stephanie. Sheila's genuine nature and love for her family was clearly evident and we instantly understood how Sheila's loving influence contributed to Jeff being the amazing young man he is. We are so saddened to know your life was cut far too short Sheila, and for the deep loss we know will be felt by your family and the many lives you touched. - Posted by: Lynne and Urmas Anniko () on: May 03, 2014

  • I am so very sad to hear of the passing on of Sheila. I did not realize that the disease hadn't taken over as it did. Unfortunately we had only communicated through Facebook this last while so it was only the wonderful family events and her looking great in every photo that I saw. I know how proud and blessed she felt with her family life . My deepest sympathy to all of you during this difficult time. She will be sadly missed.
