I am sorry for your loss and will keep your family in my prayers.  Sheila was so kind and a very good friend to me.  I will miss working with her on our school assignments and justing talking to her thoughout the day.  Most of all I will miss her smile and warm personality, she was a beautiful person.

I am deeply sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife Rodney. 1 Corinthians 15:26 holds out a wonderful hope for us all to see death be brought to nothing at the hand of Christ Jesus. Hang on to that hope.

I want to tell you what a wonderful person Shelia was.  She was always kind and helpful and made my job getting the visas processed so much easier.  She will be hard to replace.  We went to lunch not long ago and she spoke of faith and family and how important both were to her.  I am so sorry for your loss.  You will be in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Sheila's passing.  She was always so kind and helpful to me here at UofL and I will definitely miss talking with her over the phone.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Always loved seeing Sheila's smile. She was such a kind person. We'll miss her at UofL.

May you rest peacefully in God's arms. May your family be comforted by by the Great Comforter.

As a still relatively new member of the legal staff at UofL, I had the pleasure of working with Sheila and was fortunate to have known her for the brief time I did. She was resilient in her battle, never complained, and always remained professional and personable. She will be missed. My condolences to the family.

Sheila was my mother-hen here at UofL. I feel lost without her. All my sympathy to you and your family.

As neighbors of Sheila and Rodney we are very saddened by the passing of Sheila. I was always so impressed by her strength of heart and mind. I know that she was in pain but when I would ask how she was doing with a smile on her face she would always say something positive. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Rest in peace Sheila. We know that you are in a better place. Shelly & Judge William L. Knopf ((Ret.), Louisville, KY

I am saddened and sorry to learn of Sheila's passing.  I work on the other campus and our communications were mainly through the phone and email.  She was a gracious, kind lady who had great faith.  Your family will be in my prayers.

Rodney, this is a poem sent to me when my mom passed. It has always been very special to me. Hopefully it will bring some comfort to you during this difficult time. Sheila always made me smile at her beauty and grace. Our prayers continue for you and Sheila's family.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it

I'm so sorry to hear of Sheila's passing.  She was such a sweet person. Her always sunny smile will be missed at work.  Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
