  2. Sincere condolences to the entire family!  Sheila was a coworker and friend.  A real person who would go out of her way to help you if you were in need.  Her singing talents and cooking skills made her a joy to be around!  I will miss our conversations of ‘Old School’ music and the singers who pioneered R&B.  Finally, to her husband, Clarence, my dear friend.  May your grief be soften by the knowledge that she no longer suffers pain and the fond memories will last a lifetime!

  3. To the Family, so sorry for your loss. Hope you will be comforted in knowing that Sheliah has the prospect of being resurrected, healthy (in the flesh), to Paradise Earth just as Jehovah God has promised. In fact , the vast majority will enjoy everlasting life right here on earth as God had intended from the beginning. God’s Kingdom will do this under the rule of Jesus Christ. READ John 5:28, 29, Job 14:14, 15,Psalms 37:29,Matthew 6:9,10, Matthew 5:5 and Revelation 21:2-4

  4. Please accept my condolences for the passing of your dear one. There are few experiences more difficult than losing a loved one in death. As you cherish the many memories of Sheliah, please reflect on the time when sickness…, death… and mourning will be no more. (Revelations 21:3,4) This is what our loving God Jehovah has promised and Jesus himself guaranteed the hope of seeing our loved ones again by means of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 26:19) May Gods word bring you comfort during this difficult time and in the days ahead as we await the fulfillment of his promises

  9. Sheliah will SO be missed by every bus operator she ever spoke to, whether for advice, or a quick, “Have a safe day.”  She was always available for a laugh and a smile.  And what a powerful singing voice!  I’ve been with VIA long enough to remember her Express-News ads.  Can’t wait to hug her Up There when my time comes.  God Bless all of her dear Friends and Family.

  10. My condolences to the family.  I am a New Light baby so of course, I grew up with Sheliah.  Sheliah’s mother, Ms. Annabelle and my mother, Jo Etta Bryant were the very best of friends.  She had a melodious voice and I enjoyed her singing when ever I had the chance to hear her.   
    I will continue to lift the family up in my thoughts and prayers.
