Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care







Sheila Lue McNeil Thurston

“Nobody cares how much you know
Until they know how much you care”

Our mother was such a brilliant mind
A woman educated who loved all mankind

She loved the children with special needs
Always mentoring and loving as she leads

Her example of teaching was years beyond
Her love and passion made an everlasting bond

Sheila loved to joke and made others laugh
A kind of comic that could bust your gut in half

Legends are made of people like her
The void she now leaves simply has no word

Together our family has always been strong
It’s the way she raised us all along

But the greatest gift she could ever give
Are the following words she taught us to live

A quote so simple the world should share...

Nobody cares how much you know
Until they know how much you care
