HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Sheila has earned her wings

Sheila was always strong in spirit. She was also caring and supportive of everyone here. I am sure even in heaven, she will always be Sheila that we all knew and watch over us.

I will certainly do random acts of kindness in her honor.
