Mrs. Sheffield, Jeff, Bobby, Norma and family,
Kim and I are grieved for you all in the loss of Mr. Sheffield.(he always made me call him DA) A kind, caring, encouraging man. I will always appreciate his encouragement of me when we met. He loved all he met. His family was the apple of his eye. He was so proud of you all and totally devoted to Mrs. Sheffield. I will miss him and our conversations usually at the grocery store. May God cradle you all in His loving arms in your grief and in the days to come. We love you. Kim and Bruce Williams
Love,
Harold, Pat, & Misty Clark
So sorry for all the families loss. He was such a friendly man. I saw him a couple of months after my daddy, Dougie Garner, had passed away Feb 2nd, and he gave me his sympathies and told me what a “good man my Daddy was” and hated to hear of his passing. So now I guess they both are together and talking away as neither of them ever met a stranger!
