The photo is my beautiful daughter *Mandi*. Hi Everyone. My name is Shelia. I'm 46 years old. I have been married to a wonderful man named Allen for 29 years. Allen just got a kidney transplant on August 26, 2008.He is doing very good. We have 2 children, Mandi is 28 and Ray is 23 years old. Mandi lives in Heaven. Mandi was killed on May 18, 2006 in a tragic auto accident. She was my life and my life sucks now. We were really close and had so many hopes and dreams. I feel like I got cheated out of my future. I am not the same and I guess I will never be.Ray, my son, stills lives at home and I love that he does. Ray is awesome and I can't ask for any better. He is honest and truthful. I lost my Daddy in August 2007. He was my hero. My Mom is doing well. She is 76 years old. There are 10 kids in my family and I'm #7. My family and friends are so supportive and helpful. I feel so blessed. I work for the school system. The kids are my passion and they keep me busy. I try to stay busy so I won't think of all the stuff in my life.

Hey My Baby Girl;I so love you and miss you. I just got home from your graveside. I just wanted to be next to you. I started off talking …
Havent heard from you mamma shelia! I continue to keep you , Allen and Ray on our prayer team .. Just stopping in to give you hugs, and support! Hang in there. I have my days I miss the girls too. Just remember it isnt Good-bye. Its a temporary seperation, For Mandi is waiting at those gates for her mamma to come home when she is called! I love you ! Laura
I am deeply sorry for your loss. It looks like you're doing well after your surgery. I wish you much success in your journey. I am also a kidney patient. I am in the process of getting on the list, but a friend of mine has volunteered to get tested. We can't do that testing until I am ready for transplant. So I am working on my issues with my weight right now. I went to my first Overeaters Anonymous meeting today. I've got to do something because they won't give me a kidney when I'm this obese. So stay strong! Be good to yourself! Lisa
I was just praying for you! oh I thank god so much for allen, recieving his kidney!!! You will be in my prayers ! I love you sheila.. and glad to know things are going well.
Sending you big hugs miss Shelia. I know you are busy doing Gods work.. but im just checking to make sure you are still standing on both feet. I pray your band is treating you well.. and you are of good health. I think of you and Mandi often, as my girls were my inspiration to start this prayer group ( my daily bread) I am in. I pray that it may touch the heart of even one other person, who is struggling.. and bring them back to God. I love you miss! Please take care, and dont be a stranger. I love to hear from you, always!
My precious daughter Mandi, was killed in a tragic car accident. She was 25 years old. She was my best friend. We shared so much, our hopes and dreams. She was a dental hygentist and loved her job. She was born premature and grew to a lovely lady. She was a hard worker. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. To meet her or to know her, you know that you were blessed. I thank God for letting me be her Mama. It is a title I wear proudly. Mandis Mom.
I'm Shelia. I'm 46. I quit living when my daughter, Mandi was killed on May 18 2006. I didn't care anymore, mostly me. My weight was out of control. Embarassed to be seen out.I got upon the scales at Dr. office and I couldn't beleive that I was the only person on the scales. I cried because I was so mad at myself.My Doctor was happy to hear that I wanted to do better for myself. He sent me to a good Surgeon. I have learned to eat right, drink water and walk. I see a difference. 1 month later.
