  • Sorry to read of Sheila's passing. I have fond memories of Sheila in the 1970s in Quebec, always with a beautiful smile and a radiant disposition. With heartfelt condolences and prayers for this dear soul and family. - Posted by: Maloney Suzanne (Friend) on: May 12, 2020

  • I knew her for a few years; before my move out west. Very cheerful, always friendly and smiling all the time. My heart is with my dear friend David, who I have known since forever! - Posted by: maia mcgillivray (friend) on: May 02, 2019

  • I have such a clear memory of a lovely woman smiling and bring me over to the Bahai centre here in Montreal! She was a lady with true warmth of spirit! We sang together and I very much enjoyed the sound of her voice! May she rest in peace! Ricky Schwartz - Posted by: Ricky Schwartz (Friend) on: Apr 09, 2019

  • I am writing you to share my love for our dearly departed Sheila with you. You do not know me but I am one of the many, many friends that Sheila left behind when she moved back out west from Montreal. We sang together for many years in the Yellow Door Choir and in our own quartet (the Fabulous Inconsequentials) so we spent our best times around a kitchen table laughing, eating and eventually singing. There are too many memories to share here but one day I hope we can meet and you can tell me more about her wonderful life with you all. I have always kept her friendship as one of my greatest blessings and I will continue to do so. Thank you so much for making her feel so loved and cherished as a wife, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Marley Morris Montreal - Posted by: Marley Morris (Friend and singing buddy) on: Apr 08, 2019
