  1. I worked with Sheila as a CNA at Barbour County Good Samaritan for two years. We worked a lot as partners and she was my absolute favorite person to work with. She was my best friend. She was a very hard worker, very compassionate, caring and helpful. She helped trained me as I started my first job right out of high school and I learned a lot from her. She was one of the best I had ever known and had the pleasure to work with. I loved her dearly & still do. Unfortunately I lost contact with her over the last few years after I left my job at Good Samaritan for a better job opportunity. I have since struggled a lot and been in some tough situations but I have always wanted to reconnect with her. If there’s anything I can do please contact me. I love her and miss her dearly. I will never forget her. Prayers for her family & friends. God Bless.
