I was so sorry to hear of Sheila passing. I met her while we worked at the nursing home (was called Oakland back then). We decided we were going to get our GED and that's what we did. Our paths would cross every now and again as we both stayed in the health field, as a home health nurse I would often see her in my clients home. She was the most caring, hard working person you could meet. She dearly loved her family. She will be missed. Just think of all the lives she touched, and made it better just by her being her.
