There are so many memories I have of your mom, but whenever I see anything with a turtle in it I think of her. Your mom was the most loving, sweetest and kindest person to all. I just adored her. I remember when I turned she came by the house in Norwell with Johnny to bring my Christmas and Birthday gifts as Johnny was my Godfather, I was so excited to open them as I was heading to a social the next night and in the box was a gorgeous pink knit dress that fit me perfect! Although your mom was not my Godparent she took that role over happily and never ever forgot me. I remember the last time I saw her we all went out to lunch and she wore her beautiful smile as always. Thinking of you all. She truly was a great human being. She is with God now. Love you ..cousin Joanne
Thinking of you at this time. Sheila was the best.
Love you Auntie
