Patrick & Kathleen, We are so sorry! We loved your Mom & had the pleasure of living next door to her when we lived in Biltmore Park. She had such a caring heart & was a very special woman who loved her family & was so proud of you both. All of you are in our prayers.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your mom. I will never forget her kindness and her most calming, sweet voice. Every time I watch reruns of “Everyone Loves Raymond,” the actress that played Amy’s mother, Georgia Engel, I see her, hear here and think – “I knew THAT woman!” – that was your mom. I loved her, and I love you both so very much.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences to you for the loss of your precious mom. I will always remember her kindness, her sweet character and her loving pride in her wonderful children. Sheila was one of earth’s “ special ones”. It was my distinct pleasure to have known your mom.
Dear Kathleen and Patrick

So very sorry to hear about your mothers passing, she was a very kind and wonderful person. She was meticulous and devoted in her work, and a pleasure to be around. My heartfelt condolences. Jerry Gassaway
Your mom was so precious to me. We met as 12 year olds at school. We were together almost daily after that until we both married and she moved to the mountains. We held each other close in good times and bad times. She will be near to my heart, always.
