RIP Sheila. If anyone finds out any information about the funeral it would be nice to show some colours if possible

RIP Sheila

Sheila was a gem. Always had a smile. Even when we were losing. That's a real fan. Not a glory hunter. Rest easy, blue.

Cheers blue

Lets show how much she was appreciated.

Done. Suspect there will be a fair amount raised. Not commented on this thread yet as it's all been said but this is a great way to create a legacy for our Eccles Blue

Still hard to imagine this place without her. Sleep well Sheila.

It really is. Just clicked on the link to make a donation and lovely to put a face to all of those posts. She was a wonderful member of this forum and is missed every day.

Family flower only please. If people would like to donate in lieu of flowers the family would kindly ask that any donation be paid to British Heart Foundation.

I think it would be a nice touch if anybody who’s thinking of attending wear City colours.

There is a link @Ric posted further up with full details and the ability to donate. Quite a few have already done that. Is it possible to make Rics post sticky so it doesn’t get lost?

Such truly sad news. I've been reading some wonderful posts on here and they are a testement of how she was loved. It would be lovely if any lads who can, make it along to her funeral and say goodbye from the forum. My sincere condolances to her family and friends. Rest in peace lovely.

Ditto and a very dificult read. Our Forum will be a sadder place without her humour and infectious warmth. Safe journey Sheila:
