Nanny Some knew her as Ms. Sheila Some knew her as Ms. Foshee, Some would call her Mom, But most all she was just “Nanny”. She never made any enemies, Had such a warm and contagious smile, She was selfless, calm, and humble, Could make you at ease all the while. Birthdays and holidays wouldn’t be the same, Without a card or note bearing Nanny’s name, No matter how hard and rough times got, You always got a card; Nanny never forgot. Her heart and soul were Godly, The way the Good Book says it should be, Yes, her name was Sheila, But to most she was just “Nanny”.
