Carolyn and I met Sheila about 6 months ago when we moved into the St Lucie Falls 55+ community, and we became neighbors. It was hard to watch Sheila as she fought her battle every day with this dreadful disease. We are saddened not to have had the chance to interact with a healthy Sheila in the short time we knew her. Rest in eternal peace Sheila. We will keep and eye out for Paul for you.
To the Meese family. So sorry for your lost. I worked with Sheila for some 20 years. I loved her. She was always smiling and happy. She was very helpful to me when I started work at the arc of Steuben. We had many road trips together and had a blast. She was an angel. She will be deeply missed. God bless
