It is said that everybody has a life purpose. When I look back I can see that Sheila shared so much love and laughter with many people in this world and made it a happier place for them to live. Mike and Sheila have welcomed many people from different walks of life and corners of the world into their lovely home and have had the alchemy of love and care to change them into a global circle of loving friends who value them greatly like their own family members. Sheila’s memory and Mike’s love and support are cherished so dearly in the hearts of all of us. Our heart and prayers are with you, Mike and with your lovely family at this very difficult time.

Shalom Sheila so kind, warm, direct and generous now young again and even more beautiful than the girl pictured on this page. I can hardly wait to see you again. With love, Debbie

My Auntie Sheila was a wonderful caring loving person and showed this every single time I saw her, always asking if I needed anything and always smiling no matter what. I always remember my own Mother saying to me when I was young that Sheila is one of the most beautiful and kindest women she new and she was right. Sheila will be sadly missed by all of us .

In memory of a wonderful friend and neighbour Sheila, who we have known for many years, always very kind and helpful. We will sorely miss her welcoming smile x Liz & Gerry xx

Mum Sheila, my heart is deeply saddened by your loss. I will always hold in my heart the memories of our chats and laughter we shared at your lovely home whenever I would visit, especially when you would tell me "funny stuff" about my best friend Wendy (your daughter). I sincerely appreciated your kindness to embrace me in your family and the love you and Dad Mike always showed me by making me feel at home away from home every time I visited the UK from Kenya. Am surely gonna miss you! Fare Thee Well, Mama! Forever, your Kenyan Daughter (Silpa Nyagudi)

Our incredible grandma, always a brave, thoughtful and inspirational source of joy in all of our lives since we were children. We are so thankful for her care, her concern and her love through everything that life has given us so far, and will carry the memories we shared with her into our futures with her light to guide us forwards. We miss her so much and are so grateful to have had a grandma so kind. We love you so much Grandma and may God be with you. xx

My lovely Sheila, my besty for 56 years. I am broken but I know that you are happy in God's hands. We had so many wonderful times together.

This helpfulness carried on through all our years of friendship You were the kindest and most helpful friend a person could wish to have Sleep peacefully in God's arms, my besty Lots of love Annexxxxxxx

Ohhh.... So sorry to hear that Sheila has passed away... She will be missed a lot My thoughts are with you, Mike Yuri

Sheila and Mike has opened to me their home, their hearts and a whole new world - the world of true Christians supporting Jews and the case of Israel. I feel lucky and privileged to have known Sheila. Sheila will stay forever in my heart and my memory. Mike, please remember that among your many friends from many countries of different nationalities there is one of Jewish origin from Russia living not so far from you in the UK that you can always rely on.

I first met Mike and Sheila in 1973. We have greatly valued our contact with them ever since. We honour Sheila as a genuine christian and a lovely person. She will be greatly missed. With our love to the family, Peter & Janet Cordle

Sheila was very kind and generous. I’ve got plenty of good advices from her during my staying at Coventry. God bless Sheila and family!

I feel privileged to have been welcomed in to the family so warmly by Mike and Sheila, I will be forever grateful of the time I got to spend with Sheila, the wisdom, kindness and love she bestowed on me. And I feel so blessed that Grace got to know and love her Great Gran. The memories will last forever. Hannah x

Sheila was a wonderful lady who was warm and caring. I miss her so much. She will be in my heart forever.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Sheila. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
