To Sheldons family I send my deepest sympathies. I remember as a child going to visit Aunt Leta and she was always talking about all of her grandchildren whom she loved so much. You have endured many losses and know that all of your friends hurt with you. Cherish your memories and may he rest in peace.

R.I.P Sheldon you will be missed. You & Sherwin behave yourselves no arguing up there. Had lots of fun playing card eating lobster at the old homestead. You were a crazy fool but had lots of laughs. See you on the up sing someday.
