Dear Harold & all Sheila's family,

I always called her "my Sheila". She was a funny co-worker, an ally, a gentle lady and a good friend. I shall always remember us singing

"Silver Bells" together at Christmas parties, and shopping at Burl. Coat Factory where we asked a saleslady where the "cloaks" were.

I grieve with you all but cherish the memories. Our love to you all.

Lucille
