all her heart. My prayers go out to her whole family. Sincerely, Fay Barber

Sending my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the entire family of Sheila Barlow Jones. We have lost a precious angel. Sheila, as well as her three sisters, were my adopted sisters. It was a pleasure to live next door to Sheila , watching her grow into an incredible person who loved life. Always with a smile on her face, she never met a stranger, just another new friend. Her giggle and laughter was infectious to all that knew her. I will miss her terribly. God Bless you Sheila.
