This memorial gathers a spiritual family to remember Dr. Sheila – healer, friend, quiet warrior, and constant presence at Metron. Her passing came suddenly leaving everyone stunned at how quickly everything unfolded. Jim shares the ache of wanting to have been there sooner, but also the sacred gift of his final visit on Thanksgiving: standing by her bedside, speaking to her spirit, thanking her for years of love and care, and giving her permission to let go if she was tired of fighting. He and Ken wept, hugged her “heart to heart,” and blessed her with peace – a moment he says he’ll never trade.
Throughout the service, story after story paints a fuller picture of who she was. Dr. Sheila was more than a chiropractor; she was a healer in every sense. She treated people on Christmas Eve when they were in unbearable pain, never charged her pastor for visits, and even drove to adjust his mother—and her poodles. When his mother had to give up her birds, Dr. Sheila quietly took them in, lifting a huge burden from his shoulders. She created a beautiful quilt from his Peachtree Road Race t-shirts, a piece of art he treasures as a symbol of her love literally sewn into his life.
Others share how her touch and presence changed them: nerve pain disappearing after her hands rested on someone’s back, quiet envelopes of money slipped into palms after a speech, healing energy that felt like electricity, and a steady calm that made people feel seen, safe, and loved. She introduced many to heart-to-heart hugs, alkaline water, and a deeper understanding of self-healing and spirit. Friends describe her as deeply compassionate, fiercely authentic, generous to a fault, and spiritually curious – open to past lives, the divine feminine, and the idea that those who cross over still walk with us.
The memorial becomes both a goodbye and a challenge. As they speak of her presence still lingering in the room, they honor her as part of the “great cloud of witnesses” and talk about how grief and gratitude can coexist. Her death, especially so close to the holidays, sharpens everyone’s awareness that time is short. In her honor, they commit to living fully, following their bliss, taking care of themselves, loving boldly, and cherishing each ordinary week that passes. Dr. Sheila, they say, is sewn into the fabric of who they are now—living on in their hugs, their kindness, their courage to heal, and their choice to make every day count.
