The family of Sheila M. Franz would like to thank all those who in any way helped to lessen our pain during Sheila's illness either through prayers, meals, time or those who extended shoulders to cry on.

Thank you to those who made memorial donations to UPMC Center for Imaged-Guided Neurosurgery Development Fund for only through research will this dreaded disease be overcome.

We would like to also thank VNA Hospice and UPMC Hillman Center for their kindness and care. Thank you to Geibel Funeral Home who through their accommodating and kind ways made the days following Sheila's passing much easier to deal with. Thank you to Father Kevin and Father Harry for their visits and compassionate words.

It is comforting and overwhelming to know that we have so many good friends and relatives who came to our time of need and that we will never forget their kindness.

Thank you.
