Sheilah Brooks is a name I will never forget. The fun lady up a block on Emerald Avenue in North Portland with three children and a big black dog I believe was named Sheba. Visiting the house on the corner was always a fun adventure because Sheilah was so cheerful, friendly and was always happy to see us. God Bless her memory.

Dear Family, I was so sorry to hear of Sheilah's passing and particularly to learn of her Alzheimer's diagnosis at 49. I worked with Sheilah at the Crime Prevention Bureau and remember her as a funny, irreverent and generous person. She always seemed so confident and happy and willing to take on whatever came her way with spirit and humor. It was a troubled time in my life and I always envied Sheilah her style and verve. I am sure she had her challenging moments but I never saw them. I know her family was important to her and she had wonderful anecdotes about her children and their escapades. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Warmly, Cassie Kottkamp

Dear family of Sheilah - I was so sorry to hear of Sheilah's passing. I know that she had not been well for sometime but it is always hard to lose someone you love. I have such fond memories of times spent in high school with Sheilah. She was always ready for an adventure and made a simple trip to the drive in movies an hilarious event. She loved to hide in the trunk of my car supposedly to escape paying for a ticket, but it was the thrill of it all that inspired her. May she rest in peace and live on in our hearts & memories.

Dear Family of Sheilah: My heart is heavy now with thoughts of saddness for the loss of such a memorable friend and I extend my sincere sympathy for you all. Since high school I have lived far away from Portland, but I feel fortunate for memories of her as a great friend at Jeff, how her creative wit could reduce me to belly laughs in an instant. She was so much fun, and I remember fondly the times together at school, in our homes, at Seaside and in our cars piled with girls during those fun, zany nights at the drive-in movies, Sheilah always the joy and life of the party. I trust that your happy memories of such a gifted soul will give you joy all your lives. Sincerely, Sue

Was sorry to hear of Sheilahs passing. Sheilah and I grew up together in what was then the old Highland Grade School neighborhood where we played as kids and attended and shared classes at Highland. As time passed we shared laughs and good times at Jefferson High. Sheilah was always a kick to be around and her sense of humor was infectious. I would like to think that some of my sense of humor came from my time spent with her during those years. Sheilah was the kind of person who when entering a room would light up the occassion with her terrific smile and fun spirit. I was hoping to see her again some day and thought of her often. As we journey through life there are certain people that contribute to shaping us for the better and I can tell you Sheilah was one of those people. I will never forget her and I'm eternally grateful for the priveledge of being her friend and classmate.

Sheilah was a very funny person. We were in some classes together at Jeff and we tended to laugh a lot. Sheilah was elected "Friendliest Girl" during our junior year, an honor she truly deserved. Here is what she wrote in my senior yearbook: "Gee, these four years of laughing with you have been wonderful." I will always remember Sheilah with a smile on her face, enjoying life.

To Sheliah's family: Sheliah was such a wonderful friend during our younger years. I loved her sense of humor her fabulous creative, daring mind. To have learned that amazing spirit was deprived of its light because of such a cruel disease is such a tragedy. We all missed out on experiencing more of her wonder! Sheliah and I were friends through high school and then had the fun of sharing our freshman year at OSU on the same dorm floor. I loved keeping up on the new of the years that she was raising 3 dynamic kids and all the causes she so passionately embraced. I hope that you will be able to remember her in her fullness and that the suffering of her last years will fade from your memory. I am sure that whatever efforts you made to care for her during her illness you will never regret. What a blessing her spirit can again be free. I am blessed to have been her friend. Marilyn Lindberg

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Sheila. I met Sheila in kindergarden at Highland Elementary School. We were at times fairly close during our early years in gradeschool. I remember spending overnights at her parents home near the school. She was always such a character and very entertaining. I am sure she is so glad to be free from her body and mind. Her spirit must feel so free. What an unfair disease she has had to live with. God bless you all for standing by her and loving her all these years as the disease progressed.

Sheila and I had great times on the slopes learning to ski. We both didn't have much money for that expensive sport but we had a lot of desire. I think she had the best sense of humor of anyone I have ever known. I will always remember her fondly. Kaaren

Dear Jeff,Jack and Sherry, We met your dear mom, Sheilah, when Jeff and Todd were 2 and 3/4 years old. They are now 39 years old. The young'uns were going to Mocks Crest Preschool. In due time your mom became vice president and I was president of the co-operative preschool. From there we became involved in soccer, the boys club and many other activities.

Please know that we had many great times together and we will always value the friendship and the many wonderful memories that we shared. Please know that we loved her dearly and she did many many extraordinary things. Sue and Dick Ziglinski
