From what I remember of her, she was a sweet and wonderful lady. She always made us feel like we were at home when we were together with her. May she rest in peace.

Sheila is my best friend ever. She helped me enormously when I was pregnant with my youngest son. We met when our sons were in kindergarten and have remained friends. I she loved hear family and friends above all..

Mrs Shiela touched my heart from the first time I met her at Woodmans. She and Mr. John are my favorite customers. She has the sweetest smile. I’m so blessed to have known Mrs. Sheila even if for a short time. She sure made an impact on me. Sending the family love and hugs!

My memories of Sheila are of her warmth and welcoming of Cindi and Ron's friends when they came from out of town to visit their kids. We were fortunate to see her and John, and also enjoy her baking. She was a wonderful lady and will always miss her! RIP Sheila!

Sheila catered my son's bar mitzvah and the b'nai mitzvot of many of the congregants at several synagogues in Houston. She was wonderful and sweet to work with, and did a fabulous job. She will be missed. Her memory will always be for a blessing, as she contributed to so many simchas in the Houston Jewish community.

I always enjoyed when Sheila and John came to town. Even though I always feel like family when I visit Cindi and Ron, Sheila and John's visits added another layer of family to the mix. Thank you for that, Sheila! And...thanks for all of the wonderful desserts! May you rest in peace...

Sheila (with John by her side) made all of our life cycle events just perfect with her catering service. Her dessert tables were legendary as were all her culinary creations. She became a dear friend to me over the last thirty eight years. I will miss our visits to Brothers’s Pizza and phone calls. Sheila’s passing leaves a huge void in my life. A wonderful friend not forgotten.

May G-d light shine on her as she finds eternal resting in the light of heaven.

The description of Sheila in Rabbi Weill's eulogy was perfectly accurate: unpretentious, to the point, energetic, genuine, cheerful, dedicated to her family and a great cook. I count myself lucky to have a few of her recipes. Better than that is the picture I have of Sheila pouring the tea at my son Danny's bar mitzvah. She and John came back to Omaha for every family event they were invited to, and that was no small effort. I appreciate everything you did for our family, Sheila, and I really enjoyed the time we were able to spend together. Lou and I will definitely miss you. Thanks for everything.

Sheila was a dear and loving friend to me. We spoke on the phone often and shared many things in common. Sheila was a wonderful and caring woman who gave me good advice when needed as well as many recipes. She will be missed by those who knew and loved her.

Sheila and I were friends in grammar school and Hebrew School. I loved going to her "big" house on Leavenworth and remember her parents as very nice and kind. I have lost touch over the years and was sad to learn of her passing.

My sympathies to her family.
