My heart felt sympathy for your loss. I did not get to meet you McKenzie but I knew your Mom way back in high school and college. She was so very pretty, smart, and so much fun. Sheila and I were roommates in college and although I have not seen her in many years, I will never forget all the fun times we had. Sheila was a beautiful person and I am glad I was able to be part of her life. Finally, to Mr. Ronnie, Ms. Ann, Rhonda, and Ronald: May God grant you the peace that surpasses all understanding and may your memories bring you comfort during this difficult time. Sheila you will be missed!
My deepest sympathy goes out to Sheila’s entire family. She and I started the Nursing Program at Williamsburg Technical College together. I ask about her often and will truly miss her. She was a dear friend and colleague. God Bless!
