I had the pleasure of Sheila as the most caring and "always there" Mother in Law, for many years. She was a much loved Nana Baker to my children and grandchildren. So glad I had a chance to spend some time with her in February. Always remembered. I won't be attending the celebration of Sheila's life on Friday but will be tuned into the Live Stream. Love to all
