Deborah Johns wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Jackie and Family, I was so saddened to learn of Sheldon's passing. Though I never got to teach under his supervision, I'm sure I would have benefitted by doing so. I've only heard positive and complimentary remarks about Sheldon's tenure in education. I've missed you since I moved from. Tallassee and didn't learn of service arrangements till afterward. Please know I am keeping you in my heart and in my prayers. In Christ, Deborah Johns”
