Sheena Marie Miles

Sheena I really dont know where to start. For the past six years you have become such a big part of my life. I love you so much and I dont know what I am going to do without you. I cant tell you how bad my heart hurt after I got that horrible phone call at 4am on dec. 5th. A day I will never forget. But, i will also never forget all the wonderful memories we have made. I am so happy that through all the things that happened these past couple of years we were able to not only remain friends, but become even closer. You became a huge part of not just my life, but also of my family's lives and Ryans. I cant even tell you how much Ryan loves you and misses you(not as much as me ;) but more than you will ever know. When I think about Rilynn not getting to ever meet you it makes me so sad. I know you were just as excited about her arrival as ryan and I. On my bad days when I was ready to go crazy it was always you that reminded me that in the end it would all be worth it. I just wish you could be here with us. I washed all her clothes you bought her and I cant wait for her to get here so she can wear them. I know you will be watching over her, since you are her Godmother ;) You will always be in my heart and I will miss and love you everyday, for the rest of my life!

Sheena and I met as roommates our freshman year in college, but we were never strangers.  From the instant we met, she became my best friend.  I have so many memories, so many stories that no one else will ever understand.  Sheena saw me through many of my "firsts." She helped me laugh through all the hard times and she made everything okay when I thought the world was ending.  There is no way for me to convey just how much Sheena means to me.  She was someone I could tell everything to- the good, the bad, and the ugly.  She wasn't afraid to hurt my feelings and tell me when I was being stupid. And I'm a better person because of that.  Sheena quickly became part of my family.  My mom and dad took her in as a daughter and my sister adopted Sheena as another sibling. 

Sheena - there will never be another Zebbers in my life.  Even Jay fell in love with you.  I will never eat Cheez-its without thinking of you.  I will forever remember driving in your car (scared for my life),  our days in Nunn hall, our ghost, making Derby pie, climbing through our dorm window, going to the airport to pick up Jay for the first time, kicking our other roommates out of our dorm, going to the SAE house, dancing with you, getting your car stuck in a ditch for hours with no cell phone service, listening to you tell me how innocent I was, watching you fall through chairs, our days with Tugger and our three turtles, Heaven Hill, our Christmas Eves, giving each other "makeovers," La Finca's, our excuses for calling off work (fish poisoning and an episode with a microwave), you and Nancy dressing like the Osbornes, cooking for my grandparents, your horrible back massages, scaring you during the movie "Signs," doing dishes in the bathtub, and laying on our beds talking and laughing all night.  I could write a novel detailing our memories.  But those are ours to share and not a day will go by that I don't remember that.  You knew all my secrets.  I want you to know that you are my best friend Sheena Marie.  I love you and I miss you.  Jay loved you too.  I would give anything to have you standing beside me on my wedding day.  I know you will be there though.  

I'll always be your Boo!

Sheena, Isn't it wonderful to see the way people feel about you? Your death has really taught me a hard hard lesson and if I could take back one thing it would be to have told you how I felt about you through all the years, instead of how I felt about you in the last minute we spoke, or here now. I am sooo truly sorry, regretful more than you will ever know. Our breakup will surely go down in history as the worst break up of all time. Funny to wonder what might have been had we stayed together, all of us. Trouble, I'm sure. :)

Sheena, you have always been a lovely person, from the first time I met you way back in the day. You were Welcoming when others were not. Friendly to everyone. You gave everyone a good chance. More than anything you were a tie that bound us all together. You brought us down to earth when we really needed it the most, and I want to say thank you for that.

Sheena, not only were you a good friend to me for many years, but you were a wonderful friend to my friends as well. We are all shocked and brokenhearted that your time has come so soon, too soon for us to right our wrongs and re do it over again. I want to thank you for the years you stood beside me and them.

In closing, let me remind you of the last thing I ever told you- "Sheena the thing about our group of friends, the thing that made others wish they had a circle as strong as ours is in all of the years weve been together we never let a single thing come between us. It is so rare and precious to find friends like we found" and I want to take back the way I ended that- "I am hurting so bad inside that that changed. I am so sorry."

I always loved you. I will never forget that.

I will try to fix it with the others, Sheena.

Love, little Kristin

Sheena, I never thought the day would come that I would be saying goodbye to you, forever. I know the last year and some odd months we havent talked and now I realize how crazy that is. So crazy. We were great friends for a very long time. I dont have to think very hard to realize that some of my best memories were with you. It all began with cheerleading in 7th grade which eventually lead to cheerleading in high school. We were almost on the same dance team too, then you quit. Argh! We were so mad at you for that. :) We worked at Lake Manor together, and like Amanda said, it was the easiest job ever. I remember the night when we got off work and went to Amandas, of course we made a pit stop at Kroger for some Ben&Jerrys icecream first. And, if Amanda would have ever had a deer (wink wink) we would have met him that night. Im pretty sure after that we went back to my house and drank mikes hard lemonade and HOOCH because who likes the taste of beer at age 14 or 15? :) Yea, we were pretty bad then. It was the mikes hard lemonade and hooch that lead us to dye your hair that night. I still have the picture of you sitting in my bathroom smiling from ear to ear with black and brown spotted hair. I remember all of our christmas parties, birthday parties, fireworks and the times we went to church together. One of the last times we ever went out together I was forced, remember? I told you alllllll day that I was sick and didnt want to go but sure enough, you showed up at my house all dressed up and told me we were going anyway. We sat at Bar Louie and ate appetizers and I told you I still felt like crap and wanted to go home. I ended up going to the hospital that night by myself because I didnt want to wake you up. I will never forget the next morning you woke me up and said you were so sorry for making me go out and you didnt know I was really that sick! You were always so happy and cheerful and I will never forget the smile you always had on your face. Im so sorry things ended the way they did between us, it was so not worth it. Our friendship was very important to me although I may not have shown that to you in the last few years. I love you very much and I will never forget the memories we shared.

I was new to the Highschool my freshman year and Sheena was the first person to actually say Hi to me and to introduce herself. Always cheerful and always made a good a laugh ... Cheerleading was the greatest. Going to camp with the girls ... The seniors getting us to play the wet towel game hmm i wonder who thought of that one.. Seeing Sheena sing her heart out to Salt N Pepa. I can remember when sheena got her license for the first time she told her mom she had to go to the store but instead she came to my house and we joy ride over mt orab LOL just listening to Bush ( her fav).Brown county fair, school dances . So many memories and so little of time Sheena Marie Miles Im going to miss you forever and ever and one day i will see you again
