To my favorite sister in law I will miss seeing you frequently since I lived only a few minutes away. I will always remember the love you had for your sister Sheila, my wife and how I would bring Sheila to visit you twice a week so you could play rummy cube with her and have lunch.
At least now you are relieved from the physical pain that you’ve been enduring for the past five years and now you are peace and with your family once again.. Even though I will not be at the services, I will be well represented by my two daughters JAMIE and ANDREA, who loved you much. I am glad that I got to see you the last day of your life and and happy that your nieces and nephews were able to talk to you and tell you how much they loved you.

May you rest in peace I love you very much.

I was one of her caregivers in California. She loved framing her pictures and showing off the memories!! Loved talking about her family. But disliked car rides lol. We would have wonderful long talks overnight. Used to tell me stories of her as a little girl in Chicago! So glad she got to go home to rest <3
