My dearest friends, rather, family—Our love and prayers are with each of you.
Ma Sheets cherished family and made me feel apart of yours. I fondly remember how welcomed and cared for both Sally and Paul made me feel while visiting their home during college. No longer just Stevan’s college buddy, I was their son that weekend. Every meal, Ma Sheets presented a homemade feast! And the table was always filled with laughter. If memory serves me, Stevan and I took an impromptu “morning stroll” up their little, backyard mountain. No water. No cell phones. That unplanned hike lasted well into the afternoon. Ma Sheets graciously drove to the backside of the mountain (near Canada I believe) to pick up the weathered hikers. She shared genuine concern for the safety of her sons and well-fed us again that night.
Ma Sheets, each encounter we shared was marked by your warm smile and kind words. You spent your life curating encouragement all around. Thank you for caring for me as a son, as you have done for so many other “extended family”. In this you have shown me Christ.
Much love to all the Sheet’s family.

Dear Paul, Sherilyn, Stevan & Jessica, Ella, & Ezra,
How do we begin to tell you how very much Sally meant to each of us?
Well...I will try....
It was a Sunday after church at a restaurant called Carriage Corner in Mifflinburg. We were to meet Larry’s sister & husband for lunch after church as we always did. We arrived at the table, & there was a new couple. - Paul & Sally!
Upon our first meeting, we felt their warmth & interest in getting to know us, & we really wanted to get to know them too. We had a great time. That great time evolved into weekly great times at another restaurant, Country Cupboard in Lewisburg. We looked forward each Sunday after church to our times together. We invited various other friends who also had a great time!
Definition of “Great Time”:
We would all be so happy to see each other. We all had such different personalities, but we came together like perfect ingredients of a favorite recipe. Sally was clearly the funniest. You just never knew where the conversation would go when she would start talking. At times, Paul would gently try to rein her in to no avail. How we loved to hear her stories! She would so clearly tell them, it was like watching a high definition technicolor movie. Stories of antics of her & Paul, the “lawnmower story”, stories of her childhood, & on & on ... There was much laughing, sometimes weeping if needed, comforting each other, encouraging each other & growing precious friendships. Sally played a key role in these times. She was one of the most funny, caring, & loving friends we’ve ever had.
She loved our dog, Gunner, but wouldn’t touch him because she was afraid of dogs! He respectfully came as close as he could without touching her. She would warmly & lovingly talk to him. They had a very special friendship!
We loved Sally so very much. She is leaving a huge hole in our life here on earth. Our comfort is knowing that because we have a personal relationship with Jesus, we will be seeing her in Heaven someday.
She loved Jesus & her family with all of her heart & what a beautiful legacy she left!
She ministered to so many in her special unique way. She was loved by so many.
I will never forget her talking to & praying for us through a very painful time as we grieved the passing of our granddaughter from leukemia. She so well knew the pain that my daughter felt.
We are so thankful that she is with Jesus, her beloved Stacia, & her beloved parents, completely healed. Can you just imagine all the people she’s already met & how she’s making everyone laugh as she’s telling her stories?!!
Paul, Sherilyn, Stevan & Jessica & Ella & Ezra, we can only imagine how deeply you are grieving her. This has been a terribly deep valley. Please know that we “are here” as you adjust to this new “season” & will be continuing to pray for each one of you to feel Gods strong love & comfort.
With love & sympathy,
Sue & Larry & “Gunner

Rest in Peace my friend. Condolences to all who loved you.
I met Sally in 1962. We had just moved from Michigan and we lived just up the street with my aunt. Sally was my first friend in this new world of mine. We drifted apart over the years, but I will always love her for being a kind, loving, generous friend. The world would be a better place with more people like Sally.

I always enjoyed being with Sally at Sunbury Camp. She was always fun to be with. We visited their church in Port Ann and went to an Italian restaurant after service. We also visited an ice cream shop and ate teaberry ice cream. Will miss her, but am rejoicing with you that she is finally free from pain and home with the Lord. I was able to understand chemo because I had gone through that too. God bless the Sheets family as they go through this grief process yet again. May God give you comfort and peace.
To The Sheets Family

Jim and I first got acquainted with Sally and Paul at Denton Wesleyan Camp in the 1980’s. We sat behind them during the services. Stacia was about two years old at the time and she won our hearts. It was very evident that Sally was a loving wife and mother. We missed seeing Sally, Paul, and the family when they moved away.
I was thrilled when we became friends with Sally on Facebook so we could get reacquainted and discover what was going on in each other’s lives. I loved reading her posts because Sally had a great sense of humor. It broke our hearts when we found out she had cancer. I then let Sally know I was praying for her daily. She was so appreciative of my prayers and we would correspond with one another. Sally was strong throughout her pain and suffering and truly was a witness of her faith in God. Jim and I feel it was a blessing to call Sally our friend.
We want to express our sympathy and love to the Sheets family. I am praying daily for Paul, Sherilyn, Stevan, Jessica, Ella, and Ezra. May you each one sense God’s presence and peace during these difficult times. Sally felt your strong love and support as she battled this horrible disease called cancer. I am sure Sally felt your love and was comforted once again knowing her family was sitting at her bedside praying as she departed from this life. Sally has now gone to her new home where there is no more pain. What a blessed thought!! May this bring each of you the wonderful peace and love from the God you serve!!
Love & Prayers,
Jim & Etta

Sally was the sweetest person I knew! She always prayed for me and my family no matter what we were going through. She made such an impact to so many people and she will be missed by so many. She is in a better place now and she would not want to be back on this earth where she would be in pain. We love you Sally and we’ll be praying for the whole family. 😍❤😊
My beautiful friend Sally has gone to heaven.....she was someone whose friendship could be picked up right where we left off! When I get to heaven, that’s how it will be for us there too😁

Love and prayers for all the family who are left without her♥️

With a heavy heart I am writing this to tell you I am so sorry for your loss. I remember her as such a loving and warm hearted person. She will be missed by so many. Continued prayers for the whole family.
Ever since i could remember my mom always told me stories about Sally and Pastor Paul. I never got to meet them in person but they were just the sweetest, just by the stories I was told. Sally was always there for my mom, no matter how long they went with not talking! She was a one of a kind soul and she will forever live on in our hearts! Love and prayers to all of you! And know your New Jersey family -Frances and Rachel love you all so much! ❤️
Our hearts are so heavy for you, Paul, Stevan and family and Sherilyn. To lose someone this beautiful in your lives is just hard to imagine your pain.
Our memories with Sally and your family go so far back. As I read through the memories and comments - she 'was' all of that and more. As we were growing up together, we shared the same love for babies, children and people. I already miss her phone calls and posting on Facebook. The other thing that we so freely connected with is our love for our grandchildren. Oh, and then missing them 'when they were little' but thanking God for how they are growing in the Lord. She was so many, many wonderful things in her lifetime. She was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, pastor's wife, cook, and so much more. Abe always says, "if we get a wrong number, I could talk the leg off of that person". Well, She and I were alike in that also. There was no silence if you were trapped in an elevator with either of us. I was sooo believing that God would heal her, mostly because "how is it possible to live without her?" God had other plans. She now knows what it is to step on those shores, and knowing it's heaven. Touching a hand, and knowing It's God's. Of breathing new air and knowing it's celestial. She IS HOME!!! Where we all long to be. Safe in the arms of Jesus. I thank God for giving me Sally to be my sister. God ordained for us to be born into a very imperfect family, but Jesus was the one that our parents pointed us to as the ONE that was perfect, and we were encouraged to 'run after Him' and stay in the Word of God. What a reunion day that is coming! Praise to Jesus, our Redeemer and Lord! He gave His life that we could someday be with Him in glory! What a day that will be!

I never had the chance to meet her but through Lori’s words you can tell she was loved and cherished so much. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and prayers to you in your time of mourning. God Speed.
For many months Don and I have prayed for Sally. A memory I have of Sally occurred at camp meeting at Table Rock in SC. Both of us were sitting in the rocking chairs out in the breeze way outside the lodge prior to service time. We talked about Denton Wesleyan Camp, the history of Don's Mom and her Mom and the love for music shared by her family and many in the Hurlburt family. Allentown Bible college had made an impact on the direction of our lives because of family getting grounded there in things of God. Facebook kept us up to date as Paul and Sally moved from SC to Pennsylvania and we moved away to North Carolina. But always, we communed with God about the needs of our families. May God continue to bless, hold close and give comfort to the entire Sheets family.

We have been praying for Sally since we learned of her diagnosis. We will continue to hold your family in our prayers. I know that God will give you peace beyond human understanding.
I am so grateful to have know Mrs. Sally for a short time. She made a lasting impression on my life. She loved her family and loved to cook. I remember on one occasion she had made fried rice. I thought it was so good!!! She told me how to make it, and I remembered!!! I still make that same recipe today. I am so saddened by this loss; you all are in my prayers.
With Love in Christ,
