From Chelsey

Dr. Sheila,

It feels as if I have had you in my life all along. I suppose, though, that you have that affect on so many. Your love was felt instantly, just like coming home. To have known you through Daniel would have been enough, for he speaks so highly of you as a mother, a woman, a healer and a human being. But to know you personally, to have actually spent time with you, shared memories with you, been invited into your family--if only for a time--is quite a privilege. It is an understatement to say that you help create a positive change in people you meet, for I have heard the stories from family of your love and kindness, but I am myself such a product. Even just my initial "consultation" with you in your kitchen, discussing stomach pain, personality, moods and temperament, was the beginning of a great revelation for me. I went back to my own home not only evaluating what I was eating, but also beginning to realize the depth of my own hidden emotions. It seems unlikely to have developed such a love for you in memories so few, but it is true. I wish returned to you so many more days filled with happiness if ever sweetened by the difficulties, wealth--in every regard-- if greater treasured by the hardships, and so many, many more memories for yourself and to share with those you love. 

Happy Birthday Sheila.

With overwhelming love/admiration/gratefulness,

Chelsey
