Sheelagh a variation of the traditional Irish name Síle. It generally translates to "heaven" or "heavenly," and Sheelagh, you were.
My dear Sheelagh, I miss you. I miss waving to you through the window, popping my head round your door, our little chats about our boys, talking about our hormones, favourite perfumes, holidays and putting the world to rights.
I miss seeing you walk down the corridor like it was a Dior runway, so elegant and classy.
Sheelagh you were so kind to me when I needed it most and I am forever grateful. Your beautiful blue eyes are now stars in the sky alongside the moon, which we both loved.
It was an honour to have you as a colleague, a blessing to call you a friend. You are so loved.
Sleep well beautiful lady, love you Ali xx
