My sincere sympathy on the loss of Sheila. Pray to God for help in coping with the loss of this dear woman. In God's own due time, he will destroy death because he views it as an enemy. Never again will we mourn for our dear loved ones. Revelation 21:3,4
I had the privilege of knowing Aunt Sheila and Uncle Malcolm in Venezuela. My parents were the dorm parents at the "big girls'dorm" while the McNaughtons were at the "big boys' dorm." The love they shared with each other and with us left an indelible impression on me (and, I think, all of us). The example she set for us as a godly woman was unique and wonderful. I mourn her passing, but rejoice knowing she's with her Saviour.
Duncan, Marjorie and family. My prayers and love to all of you. I know you all loved Sheila very much. Sheila touched so many people that there are people on nearly every continent mourning her passing, but also rejoicing that after a life so well lived she is heaven with her Savior. She was so many things to me: dorm mother, disciplinarian, Spanish teacher (my first introduction to the term subjunctive case), spiritual mentor and friend. The collective IQ always rose when Sheila was present, and so did the laughter and joy level. I will never forget how she faced Malcolm's death with such courage and grace. Malcolm and Sheila were practical people. They were doers. They got things done. How I cherish the memories of the Christmases she spent with us and how much more fun they were because she was there. She truly loved the Lord and touched so many with His love. I and so many others all over the world will miss her deeply.
Dear Duncan, Marjorie and family. I love the promise that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May God comfort you at this time. Sheila was a wonderful friend that brought joy and laughter into our home with each visit. Her exemplary life in follwoing Jesus was a great challenge and example to the many lives she touched.
Dear Duncan & Majorie & Family, Lottie & I want to extend to you our love and condolences on the passing of your beloved sister Sheila into Glory. In Heaven she will be reunited with her dear and very precious Malcolm as well as many others she knew and ministered to in Venezuela. Sheila was a true servant of Jesus Christ, full of the Holy Spirit, selfless, full of God's love, and yes - a great sense of humour and ready for a good laugh. We have many memories of the fun and relaxing times we had together at our cottage on Lake Talon near Rutherglen ON. Sheila loved the outdoors, the water, and the many good sleeps. So dear Sheila - until we meet again in the Presence of our Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Love - Lottie & John Kelsall & Family
Dear Duncan, Marjorie and family, My condolences and prayers for the family in the passing of Sheila. She was a valued member of our Life Group for many years.

So Sorry for your loss! She was family to so many of us . She was my favorite adopted Aunt so full of grace and love. Always filled the room with joy and laughter. The party just picked up a little when Aunt Sheila arrived in Heaven. What an honour to have known and loved her!
Dear family and friends of Sheila, She was the bravest lady l knew. She was smart, fun and loved JESUS with all of her heart! We are seeing the passing of a Titus woman. I'm sure she would be pleased to know that some of us are running the race a little harder and choosing to take the baton she passes because of the way she ran the race before us!
Dear Duncan, Marjorie & family ~ Our thoughts & prayers are with you at the blessed passing of Sheila. She will be missed. Her love for Jesus and her sense of humour were gifts to us. We are better for knowing her xx
