Ms. Sheehan, 
I was in your art class in 1996, Francis Lewis HS. You didn't show it, but you noticed my work and then nominated me for a gold medal in art. That meant a lot to me in my senior year of HS, and was maybe the only positive thing I had going on at the time. You had a great impact on me, and I still remember and miss your quirks and mannerisms.

Thank you,
Vincent L.

Memoriam in Honor of Teresa V. Sheehan
August 31, 1939  December 2, 2017

Dear Teresa,

I will miss your Like Me post and comments posted on FaceBook. Teresa, you were such a dynamic art teacher, with over 40 years of service to education. I will always remember your keys jingling through the hallways of Francis Lewis High School, and so much more. You were a dean at the school and an alumnus of Francis Lewis High School who returned to give your all. Your eccentricities were also your charm. 

Teresa, I thank you for the substantial monetary contributions you made to the Vincent J. Tomeo Scholarship Fund established at Francis Lewis High School. You helped students pursue a higher education Kudos!

Your intense, compassionate political activism and caring voice will live on in all the people you helped, to enlighten, uplift, and touch with human kindness.

As your colleague and poet friend, I lament your demise. Now, I pray and wish you Rest in Soft Peace! My Hibernian friend, you are now the Song of Wandering Aengus.

I will hear your voice when I read the poetry of William Butler Yeats.

Vincent J. Tomeo
