Sheldon and I had a lot of things in common besides being the same age. January and February were our birth months. We always spent time playing down at grandma and grandpa's ranch, sliding down that old cellar door, sneaking into the pantry for a fresh baked cookie, and going into the ice house. Our scolding was never very harsh as she shook her finger at us. When my sister and I got to go to the city for two weeks in the summer, I would walk down to uncle Ray's service station and visit Sheldon, talking of all our good and bad times in life and what we planned to do when we got out of school. We always wrote letters back and forth to each other, kind of like brother and sister. When he went on his mission he made me promise that I would send him a loaf of bread each week if baked. We had little secret promises always. I will always remember the hospitality and comfort I felt with them in their home. I loved them both. Sheldon has left us for a time only but if you look up in the sky at night you will feel his spirit counseling you and telling you he loves you. Always follow his wisdom and look for his star. Love to Gail and all his family from a special family basin cousin.

On behave of the family of Tom Hansen, I would like to extend our love and prayers. We enjoyed our visits with your family at the Hansen family reunions. Tom talked often of his childhood and growing up close to the gas station and his cousin, Sheldon. All these childhood memories are being passed down to Toms grandchildren. May you have the comfort of plan of salvation with you as you continue life without him here. All our love.

It was always exciting when Sheldon would stay with us on his business trips to the Basin. He was always kind and friendly to all of us younger kids, and I think, like Merralee, we all looked up to him.
When Sheldon and Gail were serving their mission at Martin's Cove, I got to go there with my sons, and I spent each evening visiting with them and sharing sweet memories. They were such gracious hosts and made our time there very happy. They were also very good guides, informative and friendly.
I loved that I could drop in on Sheldon and Gail for a quick visit and end up getting invited to share dinner with them.
Sheldon, you were a fine example of a life well lived and a kind and caring cousin. We will miss you and always remember you.

I think my earliest memory of Sheldon was when he was staying with us in the summer. We kids were alone in the house and something caught fire on the stove. I think I ran to the yard to get Sheldon, but I definitely remember him fearlessly putting out the fire. I always thought of him as my hero. In later years, the summers I spent with your young family were such happy times for me, and I still thought of Sheldon as a hero.

Gail, you and Sheldon have always been great examples and beloved friends to me. I feel a deep personal loss, and look forward to a great reunion some day.

Much love,
Merralee (Hansen Boyce)
