In Memory of Shelia Conway

The members of the VFRW Chapter are deeply saddened by the loss of their dear sister, Sheila Conway, who was tragically killed in a car accident on Wednesday evening, November 12, 2003.

Sheila was a big, bright light in our chapter; a helpful mentor to all, a caring friend and a warm and generous soul who brought life and laughter to our group and to all who knew her. She loved our group and her writing so much, and gave generously of her time to critique and edit other's work, even as she herself was on the verge of being published. Her sense of humor, her vitality and her ageless presence enlivened all our lives, and there is a aching void in all of us today as we struggle to adjust to the fact that she is no longer with us.

She was a special, special person and she will be truly missed. In lieu of flowers, Sheila's family requests that donations be made to the Sheila Conway Memorial Fund, a fund to assist financially strapped writers.
