Donations to the Canadian Foundation for the Children of Haiti or the Watford United Church would be greatly appreciated by the family. We invite anyone who has taken piano or singing lessons from Sheila, anyone who has sung in any of Sheila's choirs - camp choirs, church choirs, community choirs, children's choirs, children's musical plays, Easter cantatas; anyone she has accompanied at the piano or organ; or friends who like to sing - to join her last earthly choir at the memorial service that will be held at Watford United Church. No rehearsal is necessary - just come to the rooms at the north end of the church before the memorial service. That's how we will provide lots of good congregational singing for her.
