    Dear Anita, I was saddened to hear of the passing of your dear sister Sheila. I grew up with the Shore family and that was a good time of my life growing up in the North End.
    I hope Sheila will Rest In Peace as she joins her late husband Al.

    I was sorry to learn of Sheila’s passing. I met her in the 1960s and 1970s, through her husband Albert Miller, who was my great uncle.
    Sheila attended the barmitzvah of myself and my brothers, and other Miller family gatherings in England. She and Albert resided in Maidenhead for many years, where I, my parents and brothers occasionally visited them. We lost contact with them when they eventually moved to Florida, but Sheila appears in many of our family photographs. Rest in Peace Sheila.
