To Bryan, Heather & Sheila’s entire family ..... I’m at a loss for words about how much my friend Sheila Ryan Jones has meant to me for the past 50 years ! Yes 50 !!! We met on the “moving in day” at St Mary’s Hospital School of Nursing in Waterbury in 1968 and we’ve been bestest friends ever since that day 💕 We always said we felt like we were sisters !!! And as sisters we shared all of our hopes and dreams, laughed through the good times & rough times and we were always there for each other. Although I never worked with Sheila after we graduated from nursing school I know through the many stories she shared with me what a great nurse she was !!! She would quietly tell me about thank you notes she would receive from her patients and I’m sure they were so well deserved ... Sheila was always such a loving mother, wife and friend as well as a caring and patient nurse !!! I’m glad that my friend Sheila is at peace now ... love you, Marty
