I grew up with Sheila in McCook starting in Grade School at East Ward. From her early youth, Sheila was always a blessing to the world. To the family, you have many memories I am sure to treasure, now treasure the memories! Sheila will always hold a special place in my heart and I wish my deepest sympathy to you at your time of sorrow. Best to you. Ernest Weyeneth

Sheila was my Sunday school teacher and so much more. She was the one I could talk to when I couldn't talk to my mom! Her guidance and steady hand and love made all the difference when I was in high school and beyond. I know she is in Heaven right now, making music with Jesus.

Sheila and I were classmates through Jr High and High School. I had forgotten her musical talents and was glad to learn she was still using them. Loved visiting with her at reunions and hearing about Nathan. I had no idea of the variety of projects she was involved in and was amazed at all she had accomplished. My sympathy to the family and please know she'll be missed yet in her hometown too.

My sincere condolences to your family. Such a remarkable lady. I wish I had known her. I am researching the Freys in my family and would like to hear from anyone who may be related, especially those with ties to Cortland and Ithaca, New York.

Sheila was one of the smartest in our class and one of the nicest. She always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. I so enjoyed visiting with her when she came for our class reunions. A sad time but joyous in the contributions she made to so many lives.

Sheila was always one of the smartest kids in class through our graduation. her Mother I believe worked in the town Library, and her grandfather had Zick's news stand on the south end of Norris Ave. I am so sorry to hear of this untimely passing, and my heart and prayers go out to the whole family
