I am sorry it has taken so very long to contact you...I as just in Burnsville, passed your neighborhood and thought of all of you...but, did not take the time to call. I so regret living so many years without contacting all of you. Now, I have missed Shelia as well as Christopher. Tom and Scott...our prayers and regrets are with you all. Your long lost friends and past Bloomington neighbors....Shari, Julie and Simone (Duntley)

Our family, no matter how far removed has always been a priority in my parents lives. Tom, I'm sure you don't remember me, but I have met you and your family on several different occasions. My prayers are with you all during this difficult time. God bless you all.

Sheila Nemmers was a wonderful person. I knew her and Tom from many, mnay years ago, when we showed German Shepherds together. I spent hours at their home and stayed overnight many times. We even travelled together to dog shows. I have many good memories of Sheila. I am sad to hear of her passing. My condolence to Tom and his family. There is a Rainbow Bridge where a few of my dogs and others have passed before and I bet a good 4 legged friend is awaiting her passing over. My heartfelt sympathy at your loss, Tom.
