I met Sheila when I attended Full Gospel Christian Center-Thriving House in Port Arthur. She was such a gracious, loving sister in Jesus. I enjoyed the times when she shared her stories, her songs, her dreams with me as we visited together. You are so blessed to have her in your lives; I am. I will miss her. I lost contact with her when I evacuated to Arkansas when hurricane Harvey hit, but I had the opportunity to pray for her by way of the church's prayer chain. I am so sorry that she is gone, but I praise the Lord that she is walking, jumping, dancing, running around heaven with Jesus. She is no longer bound by her bed and wheelchair. She is free. I love her dearly.
