I knew Sheila through the Montreal Lakeshore University Women's Club. She was a beautiful woman - both inside and out. I will miss her and I know she is looking over us and taking care of her family.

My deepest sympathy to you all.

I met Sheila at her dance school where I also met her late husband Sam. They were such a nice couple. I remember the good times;: attending the dance recitals with all the beautiful costumes and choreography. My sincere condolences to her family, friends and all the dancers and students. She will be forever missed.

Miss Sheila will forever be a huge part of my life. Her love and care for all of her students was so inspirational and it is because of her that I am the woman I am today. I once did a project on her in the 5th grade and we got to just sit and talk for hours alone. I will never forget her incredible story and her memory will always be a blessing to me and all of her other students. She fostered a love and respect for dance and that translates into every sphere of life. I love you Miss Sheila and miss you.
