Sad day for VPI family
« on: December 19, 2011, 05:33:35 PM »
I'm sure everyone knows by now that Sheila Weisfeld passed away a few days ago. Love my Aries and wanted to wish my condolences to the family. A lot of members here have VPI decks and we've all gotten many hours of enjoyment from them.

To Sheila:

Sheila was not only "the woman behind the man" , but also an integral part of VPI as a company. I personally spoke with her many times on the phone and know she will be missed not only by her family friends and coworkers by  by the high end community at large as well.

RIP

I just spoke to Sheila early in November. She told me she had pancreatic cancer. She was more worried about her bookkeeper / accountant whose child was very sick. We spoke for about 20 minutes. She seemed very brave...

Condolences to the VPI family...
