To Deacon Gregory & Family:

Sometimes it's hard to understand

Why certain things must be,

But we know there are reasons

Beyond our power to see...

We can only trust in God

And know that in some way

It's all a part of His great Plan

And we'll understand some day.



Remember "When God picked Shelia, He wanted the most beautiful flower from His garden."



With Love and Sympathy,

Catherine Randolph

Sister Shelia Was a very caring and loving person, I met her when she came to work at Smithfield Middle School. I will always remember her kind smile and friendly face.
