To Ian, Jimmy and Ben and families,
I was shocked to see that Sheila had passed away. Whilst working at AISM with Sheila and Ian, she always had such a friendly smile and kindness about her, making anyone feel welcome.
I hope your memories help you through the days ahead.

Please accept my deepest condolences. I didn’t know Sheila well, but she was a good colleague, quiet and friendly, even though our paths didn’t really cross much. It’s very sad, she was too young to go.

Rest in peace lovely lady

Diane Firestonesays:

Sheila was a shining example of living life to the fullest. Even when faced with grief and challenge she somehow focused on the sunny side of life and spread that joy to those around her. I feel lucky to have met her, sharing our mutual love of horses. I will always remember her smiling and cantering off on a big dark horse with whom she was one. I raise a glass of bubbles to you, girlfriend. I’ll miss you.
