    I always teased Shiela about us being Reynolds kids. You could always smell us when we got on the bus, we smelled like charcoal. The last time I saw her was in Columbia while her husband was wheeling her out of the hospital, we were there at the same time. Her cancer had returned. So long old friend, I know you are in a better place than we are. Your heart was always too big for this old earth anyway.

    Lifting you all in prayer during this time!
    I feel like I lost my dear friend Sheila little by little with her disease process.
    So many wonderful memories over the years seeing her kids then mine grow up. She impacted so many of our church – the youth, the ladies group.
    We miss you so but know we’ll meet again !

    Dear Sweet Family,
    We are saddened for your loss and we pray for perfect peace. We are thankful that we know that Sheila now rest in the arms of Jesus. Anyone who knew Sheila was blessed. You could never deny her promised commitment to anything she set her heart to. Her acts of kindness and her sweet spirit will live on beyond her years. The world was a better place with Sheila in it. I remember her often telling the story of Manny…”I’m gonna marry that man”. She was so proud Manny was her husband. She told so many stories of her beloved children, Hillary, her beautiful doll and Logan, her loving son. Her family, precious children, grand children, and her Church were her pride and joy. Even in sickness she was a witness to her love of Christ. We have no doubt the doors of Heaven were swinging wide when she arrived. Let your star shine bright sweet friend, we will see you in your Mansion when we arrive.

    Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Sheila was a special woman, always helping anyone in anyway she could. Her love for our Lord was so evident in her day to day walk. The smiles and hugs she shared could always lift you up and make things easier in any way she could. Sheila loved her children, she also loved the children who were fortunate enough to know her whether in a Bible class, or in the youth group. God be with you and comfort you. She is up in Heaven praising the Lord and singing with the angels.
