Shelia will be missed more than i can express in words i can not describe in words all that she did for me when i needed a friend she was always there and she knew exactly what to say whe it came time to cheer people up never once did i ever hear her complain about herself she spoke highly of her family in every way you could tell how much she loved them we will miss you honeypot love tony and sallie

Dear Honeypot;
Your steadfast strength defys the logic of today. To be a freind, to be strong, to be honorable in all you where, and to be cordial, warm and consistant, is to be admired. At least by one Wemove freind. :) Travel well my dear and find a place of peace.

AS TIME GOES BY I REALIZE HOW BLESSED WE REALLY ARE,AND THANKFUL FOR EACH GOOD DAY GOD GIVES US, SOMETIMES WE GET LOST IN OUR OWN TROUBLES,AND FORGET THAT THERE ARE OTHERS THAT HAVE A HEAVIER BURDEN. AS I LISTEN TO THE CRIES FROM THE PEOPLE THAT JUST NEED SOMEONE TO CARE,MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM NOW. WHEN YOU FEEL AS THOUGH ALL HOPE IS GONE,REMEMBER THIS JUST CRY TO GOD ,HE WILL ANSWER YOUR EVERY NEED. AS YOU OPEN YOUR EYES FOCUS ON THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE,AND LET GO OF THE TURMOIL SO THAT YOU CAN HEAR GOD.S VOICE. THIS IS A DAY WHEN WE SAY GOODBYE TO A DEAR FRIEND,JUST KNOW THAT SHE WILL LIVE ON BECAUSE THE LIFE SHE LIVED WILL BE A LEGACY. AS WE SAY FAREWELL TO OUR FRIEND HONEYPOT, REMEMBER HER FAMILY IN PRAYER AS THEY GRIEVE,BUT THANK GOD FOR HER. SHE WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A ANGEL THAT VISITED US HERE FOR A MOMENT IN TIME,AND THE ANGELS WILL WELCOME HER HOME. IT WAS A HONOR TO KNOW YOU SHEILA AND YOU TRULY WILL BE MISSED BY ALL,ENJOY YOUR NEW HOME IN HEAVEN ,AS GOD SAYS TO YOU JOB WELL DONE MY DAUGHTER.

I am so sorry to get the news that we lost Honeypot. I never knew her name until today, but she was an inspiration to me and a joy to chat with on WeMove. May God bless you all, you lost a gem.

JACK I AM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS. SHE WAS A FANTASTIC LADY, BUT NOW SHE IS FREE. SHE WAS THE FIRST PERSON I TALKED TO IN WEMOVE. I STILL HAVE THE DOO RAGS YOU AND SHELIA SENT ME FOR AFTER MY FIRST DBS. I WILL ALWAYS HOLD HER MEMORY DEAR IN MY HEART AND CONSIDER IT AN HONOR AND A PRIVILEDGE TO HAVE KNOWN A WOMAN SO COMPASSIONATE. ALWAYS HELPING OTHERS DESITE HER OWN STRUGGLES WITH THIS DARN DISEASE, I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE KNOWN YOU BOTH. YOU ARE A GOOD MAN WHO STAYED BY HER UNTIL THE VERY END. SHE WILL BE MISSED BY MANY WHO'S LIVES SHE TOUCHED NEARLY EVERY DAY. WEMOVE HAS LOST A GOOD ANGEL AND I HOPE TO MEET HER IN HEAVEN ONE DAY.

God saw the road was getting rough The hill was hard to climb So he gently closed her eyes And "whispered" PEACE be thine YOU ARE DANCING WITH THE ANGELS NOW AND NO PAIN ANYMORE.
I will never forget you my friend, you will hold a special part in my life forever.
