Dear Skolaut family, Your Mom, Sheila, was a wonderful person. I have such great memories of all the fun your parents had with mine – Tom & Betty Henderson. They always enjoyed traveling together and even just going out to dinner. Sheila would always stop and chat whenever we would run into each other. She was so very proud of all of her family. I am so sorry for your loss, you all will be in my prayers. Her caring and love will be carried on with you. Debbie Henderson Viscosi
I always enjoyed your mom. In our last conversation after she moved to Maize Road, she told me she downsized from the house she and Jim had to make things easier for her children. True mother’s love. She will be missed by many, especially her family. My condolences to you all. Kay Polson Blinn
Chris and family, so very sorry to hear about the loss of your sister. I know how much you’re all going to miss her. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
