Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Shelia Twyman was loved by everyone in our department. She was a truly remarkable person, and we have cried a river of tears at losing her. Shelia was the first High Point Police officer killed in the line of duty in the past 75 years. She will always be remembered. Her straight forward wit and caring personality made her special. Yes we lost a good officer, but more importantly we lost a friend. Shelia was the epitome of a Christian police officer, telling everyone that she "was blessed."

We too lost our loved one to a Semi running a red light. We want your family to know how sorry we are for your loss. Our prayer is that you will gain strength and wisdom from others during this difficult time. The loss of a loved one is hard at anytime but at the Holidays it must seem unbearable. I am sure that Sheila was a wonderful person. Remember that a little of her still lives in each of you through those terrific memories that you have of her, hold them close they will carry you through many rough spots.

Shelia was always there to help anyone in need.She will be missed, but she has gone on to greater things. On behalf of the 24th BLET class of GTCC, We salute Shelia Dianne Twyman! Our prayers are with you, and your family. You will be greatly missed. Watch over us, and guide us Shelia, we need you. We will miss you!

It is very troubling to read of another officer killed in the line of duty during this holiday season. To Master Officer Twyman's family and fellow officers, I am very sorry for your loss during this otherwise joyful time of the year. You will be in my prayers, thank you for your sacrifice for this nation.

In addition to her immediate family, my thoughts and prayers especially go out to Shelia's extended family of public safety personnel who continue to serve and protect the city of High Point. God bless you all.

We are all poorer for her loss.
