Have you ever been on the receiving end of one of her hugs? I literally bumped into her at RWA NY one year having left an authors table and she just looked down at me and asked, where's my hug? <br /><br />That was also Sheila at her best.

Wherever we went on our one visit there, as soon as we spoke, someone would ask where we were from and if we knew their cousin or brother in Philadelphia or Boston!<br /><br />RIPJeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.com
