"Mary and family, My deepest condolences at the loss of Sheila Sue. She was my dearest friend and a sister through love. She was yang to my yin -- light-dark, positive-negative. We were two halves who came together as a whole. Since 1972 we have shared so much love, laughter, and tears -- and sometimes total confusion. We have so many shared memories, I wouldn't know where to begin. When we got together and shared memories, we would end up laughing and snorting until we cried -- and then that would remind us of something else and off we'd go again. She was a very special lady, and I am going to miss her something fierce. But I rejoice in knowing that she is finally at peace and in the loving arms of God. God bless you."
