Condolence From: Sheila Caisey McCarthy
Condolence: Dear Sheila and family,
I feel like I've known you for years. I grew up on Wellington St. and knew Gary. However, at my table in 7th grade I remember Tommy telling me he had a sister named Sheila. My parents are at Mt. Feake and I never forget to make your brothers a part of my visits. I'm so sorry about your mom. I always wondered if I'd see her again - In the next life. God Bless

Condolence: Life has just begun for you sweet A. Shirley, I know you are dancing in Heaven with your boys and the rest of the family!! You overcame so much, fought so hard and loved so deeply! I remember the surprise 16th birthday party you had for me, the dancing you loved to do to country music, you telling me about wanting to be a nun, the Lord and many nights I was at your house! You have two amazing daughters here that love you, you will be missed but I am so happy that your sorrow and pain are over and the deepest healing has begun! Until we meet again and dance in Heaven!

Condolence From: Donna Feeley
Condolence: To Sherry and Sheila,
There are no words to express the sorrow I feel by the loss of your Mom. She was a very special woman to me. I have so much respect for her ability to overcome so many extreme hardships, particularly, the loss of your two brothers, a loss that most Mother's never have to bare... and occuring only six months apart. She turned to her faith in God which gave her an enormous amount of strength and courage to persevere, when most people under less extreme circumstances would not be as able.
What comforts me, is remembering her telling me that she was not afraid to die and that what awaits her in heaven, are two very special people that she so longed to be reunited with. As you both mourn her loss, live by her example. Remember that she loved you both so dearly and she was so lucky to have the kind of daughters you both are. I pray that you each find strength in knowing that she is in good hands now. She will always hold a very special place in my heart. I love you both!
