Messages of Condolence


I am still so shocked by her death. I am so sorry for your families. I will miss her. The postal strike robbed me of what would have been my last chance to send her all the pictures from the annual Christmas letter. She was so loved. xo ~ Carol Isabel


I was devastated to learn of Sheila's passing. I'd known her since I was about 13 and, along with her husband John (or JB or Johnny as we called him), long considered her a dear friend. We sort of grew up together, and I always thought of her as a rather spunky and bright sweetheart. We shared many great times when we were young, had super visits out in Qu'Appelle, and I was there when she and John bought the first house. Later we had many good times at Pasqua Lake. Nathan, Nick, I am so sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences to you and your families, to all of Sheila's family, and to her many longtime friends. Rest in peace, my dear. - David McLennan, Regina  ~ David McLennan


Thinking of all of you. I didn't get to know her well as a cousin, but will enjoy the memories we do share. Take care.   Stella and Murray Lone ❤️  ~ Stella (Batke) Lone
