Dear Michael-I cannot express the sadness I feel over the loss of your mother and my dear friend. She was a kind gentle teacher loved by all who had he privilege of knowing her. Sheila was a nurturing soul with a great sense of humor who shared her love of art, books, cooking and wine. Under her calm presence was an adventurer, whether rafting down the Colorado River, exploring the alleys of Istanbul or teaching me to drive a stick shift. Above all, was her love for you. She was a part of my life and that of my family for over thirty years. She will be in our hearts for as long as we live.
