Sheila Denise Dwight
January 12, 1958 --April 16, 1994
Yesterday one we loved and knew stepped across the threshold :hat we call death, but it was only a step into another room, and not a stepping out uf the fellowship of life. It was but a stepping into one of the other rooms of our :Father's House.
Sheila Denise Dwight was born January 12,1958 to Hattie and Collin's Dwight. She was called home to rest on April 16, 1994 . She leaves to cl.erish her memory along with her mother and father one son, William Dwight; Onf:sister , Sharon A. Dwight; one step sister, Vickie Coggins: two brothers, Collins B. Dwight and Kennith E. Dwight; A very devoted friend, L.J. Brown; four grandchildren, aunts, uncles':nieces, nephews and a host of relatives and friends.
You sleep in God's beautiful garden, Your Life is a beautiful memory, Your absence a silent grief Of sunshine and perfect peace.
You left a beautiful memory, A sorrow too great to be told, But to us who loved and lost you, Your memory will never grow old.

God saw the road was getting rough The hills was hard to climb
He gently closed those loving eyes And whispered "Peace Be Thine"
The weary hours, the days of pain The sleepless nights are passed
Thaf ever patient warn out frame Has found sweet rest at last.
