I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Shelia. We were best friends when we were young and went to the same church Boulevard., Baptist. Again I am so sorry for your loss
Sheila and I were best friends throughout our middle and high school years into our adult years. I am so sorry to hear. I know she loved her family but was in a lot of pain. Your in my prayers. I love Sheila and will miss her.
To Sheila’s family and friends, I have only just now learned this sad news. I am deeply sorry for your loss and can only think that she is now in a better place. Sheila and I grew up across the street from each other in Newport News and shared a love of music. In fact, we used to practice in the family’s garage. I remember that she loved the band Firefall and we would practice a number of their songs. I used to tell her that I thought that she had one of the most beautiful singing voices that I had ever heard and that she should pursue music as a career because I thought that she was truly that good. Rest in peace Sheila you have earned it.
She was my sister from the age of 3.
