This year Sheila helped me to prepare my PhD thesis for submission. She was so supportive and generous in this process. We talked about our families and she gave me a huge amount of confidence for the final thesis preparations. I am so sad that I cannot tell her that I passed and send deep sympathy to her family.

I'll always remember Sheila for her encouraging words, she helped me to see things in perspective. Not only was Sheila beautiful on the outside, so smart and elegant, God gave her a beautiful inner self through which she was able to share her faith and experiences with others. We will surely miss her. Love Adele & Des Ripi.

I didn't know Sheila except for the wonderful description of her given by my old friend Jan Smith. Sheila and Greg were so kind to Jan and her son Glen and her boys are his great friends. Jan always spoke of Sheila with admiration. I do know she will be hugely missed by Glen and Jan, as Jan said she was such a stunningly beautiful person, kindness personified. My sincere condolences to Greg and the family and all her friends. Such a sad loss to everyone.

Sheila was my Information Management lecturer at AIT over twenty years ago, and she remains one of my favourite lecturers ever. I'll always remember her graciousness, kindness and gentleness, who helped me pass my Info Mgt paper. She had an inner beauty and style, which made her highly-respected and loved. Thank you Sheila, for being such an awesome lecturer for all of us! Thank you Sheila, for being such an awesome lecturer for all of us!

Eternal rest grant to her, O Lord, and let perpetual light be upon her. May she rest in peace.
