Sheila was a fierce tennis competitor and a loyal friend. We called each other "Thelma & Louise" for reasons I won't go into here!!
Suffice to say, we earned those names one fine day. 

We lost touch these past many years, and I am sad to hear
that the chance to have one last chat has long passed. 

Our time as friends in Toronto's east end was full of fun,
and I think of it often.  Thank you for all of the good times,
Sheila.

I have been Sheila's friend for 35 years. I consider myself blessed to have known her. She was a terrific lady and I will miss her dearly. She would have been so proud of you all for the beautiful service. Rest in peace my friend, Love Mary Galloway.

I am so sad to learn of Sheila's passing.  I rented space at her home in the late 90's for a couple of years in Toronto.  I was thinking about her today and thought I would google her name after not being able to find her on Facebook.  She would always leave fresh veggies from her garden on the table for me.  Sheila always had a smile and lovely things to say about her children.  I enjoyed her stories about selling internet connections for TV's and being an extra in the movies.  Such a wonderful person, I am fortunate to have crossed her path.  ~ Kristen Bocking Eaton

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief......and unspeakable Love.       Washington Irving

I wanted to pass on my condolences to the family.  I worked with Sheila at Yonge Street Mission's Evergreen Centre for Street Youth in Toronto in the Nineties.  I remember her fondly.  She was a delight to work with and was a valuable member of our health care team.  All of us here are so sad to hear of her passing.  Please pass on our regards.

Former Director of Evergreen Centre for Street Youth

Love you Mum. Thanks for all the times we had together. Geoff

Sheila, you were such an amazing person!  You wiggled your way into the hearts and lives of so many street youth while working with us at Evergreen as a dental assistant.  Your warmth, tenderness, compassion and spirit live on with us.  You became a special friend to me personally in those years as well, and I always valued your letters and emails after you left.  I will really miss you.  Rest in peace, special lady!

Sheila will be missed by all of us who knew her - but her kind and lively spirit will not be forgotten.

To a wonderful person. Always jolly and interested in our lives and how we were all getting on. Dear Aunty Sheila, you will be greatly missed but always in our hearts.

Beautiful memories of special occasions and wonderful chats are vividly remembered along with your beaming smile and warm laughter. It was so lovely to have had the good fortune of visiting with you just a number of weeks ago - I cherish that visit along with all the others over the years and feel very privileged to have known you Sheila. You will be sadly missed but not forgotten... I send all my love to your family as they celebrate your wonderfully vibrant life today (and always)

I have such fond memories of you from my teenage years.  I will always remember you as being full of life and forever young. You were a wonderful mother and very loved.  May your soul rest in peace. I won't forget you. xo

To the most gentle, loving, caring, welcoming spirit, ...most amazing single-mother, ...although I missed out on the pleasure of having you in the latter part of my life, I am so grateful for all the times that I had the pleasure of spending with you.   Thank you for bringing me into your home 30 years ago and introducing me to your beautiful daughter and son Sue and Joseph.  Thank you for making such a big difference in  my life, ...for being my second mom...
You had a specialty for sharing and encouraging the positive, and eliminating the negative... your beautiful, warm, special spirit lives on in this world, even though you've physically moved on.
May your soul rest in peace now and forever... I love you mom <3 ...  xxx

My dear Aunty Sheila, thank you for sharing your passion for life, your journies and your travels. You are with me forever.....lots of love always, Margaret  xxxxx

To my Aunty, may your love continue to shine over all of us,  Gill Christopher Mary-Ann and Simon and families. xxxx

So pleased we had a chat and laugh together last Thursday (Aussie Time) I will miss our emailing, dear Sister.

Sheila, you little whirlwind...who would take no excuses for not living life to the fullest!        
 Backyard teas won't be the same or as much fun..

Dear Sheila,  I miss you so much! You brought such joy and happiness to my life. The thought of your smiling face brings a smile to mine in the midst of my tears.....
My heart  hurts from missing you...
You were such a loving, caring, genuine friend and I am fortunate to have known you. Thank you for being my friend  and letting me be yours!  Love you forever..... Kathy
