I think I have known Sheila for going on twenty years now. Twenty years of happy memories of the many rallies and FReeper functions we attended with Jim, Sheila, and the Central Valley FReepers. From the Gary Condit protest rally in Modesto to the (hilariously fun) Fresno President Bush Inauguration Brunch (which was covered by C-Span, no less), to the many Tailgate picnics, to all the Friday, “Support our Troops” rallies and the fabulous FreeRepublic Bush-Cheney Inaugural Ball in D.C. Sheila was always there, side by side with Jim.
She loved supporting our military and waving our flag while playing her favorite country music from her boom box on the corner of Blackstone and Shaw. Sheila’s sweet spirit, her great sense of humor and her patriotism will long be remembered by those of us who were blessed to know her and we shall miss her terribly. Her smile, her laughter and her gracious spirit will live on in our memories.
Rest In Peace, dear Sheila,
until we all meet again.
