Thanks to everyone for their support.
I need to make a couple of corrections, as my mom's husband submitted incorrect info.
Contributions should go to The Multiple Sclerosis Foundation, not the MDA.
She leaves one grand child, Isis Hughes-Mohney...not Mahoney.
Thanks again.

To Emily Hughes and other friends,
Thank you for calling me about your mom.I knew I hadn't seen her in quite a while and I hope her MS wasn't too awful at the end. She would talk to me about my Mom's and I was grateful for that. I also enjoyed watching her crochet, which is something I envied. I can knit, not crochet.
I will miss not seeing her again but feel she is at peace. May you be also.

I had not talked with Sheila for some time. I shall miss seeing her walking thru the neighborhood with one of her dogs...or hurrying to catch a bus.
I liked her spirit. She had many challenges to work thru and always seemed to keep a positive attitude.
I am sure she has found peace now.
