looked sad and seemed puzzled about what was happening to her. She is a beautiful girl, and we loved her new hair style. Had I only known her struggle. I had been there myself after behavioral Health. If it not for the grace of God, there go I. I'm broken hearted to hear of the loss of this pretty young lady. She had so much to offer. Let me know if I can help in any way. God bless her with his gift of heaven. Rita
My sympathy and comfort for her Mom, Sisters and The Babies.
Sheila had so much compassion for people and love for her family. Sheila loved talking about the foster children your family were raising. I am heartbroken for Sheila's family. May Jesus Christ care for you during this difficult days ahead.
