The Lord is getting a beautiful angel. Sheila was a great lady. The Alexander Family loved her dearly. RIP Sweet Sheila.
I met Allen and Sheila at a Parkinson’s exercise class at St. Leo’s. They both are such friendly and welcoming people. Sheila was so gracious and kind. My husband even wrote a poem for her for her birthday one year.
Rest in peace, Sheila. Allen, may you have peace that she is no longer suffering.
I’m so very sorry.
