You were the best nana any kid could have asked for. There are no words to express how great a person you were. The people you touched with your heart will always remember you.

Sheila,… so many memories flood my mind of us growing up. Like your birthday party when we were teens, with music and dancing and comradery. And hanging out in the orange groves. ..But I have to say, I’ll miss our late-night Facebook conversations, and long phone conversations we’ve had these past few years the most. We kept each other company when every one else was sleeping.
…I’m going to miss that. Now I’ll have to spend those long nights lost in my thoughts again. You’ve gained your Angel Wings now Cuz;.. FLY HIGH ‘TIL WE MEET AGAIN!! I LOVE YOU CUZ!!
