I would like the Rowan Family to know that they have my heart felt sympathy and prayers during the loss of your beloved one and my friend/classmate, Shelia. Shelia was a well liked person during all the years I have known her. I "Thank God" for giving me the opportunity to know someone of her character. I know Shelia will be well missed by everyone that had the pleasure of meeting her whether it was for a moment or lifetime. Shelia, sleep on; take your rest; we love you but God loves you best. Girlfriend, rest assure I will see you again.
