My deepest sympathy to Shellina, Kirk and family. I was very saddened by this news having known Sheka from a little girl growing up here in New York. Although I lost touch, you have never been forgotten. And I can tell from the other entries Sheka touched the lives of many in special ways. I thank God for her life, and my thoughts and prayers are with Shellina, Kirk and family. May God bless and keep you. (Auntie Brenda)
We are so sorry to hear about Sheka. May the God of all comfort, continue to be with you and your family during this difficult time. We all look forward to a time when death will be no more-Rev 21:4. Our prayers are with you.
