May God comfort and continue to bless her family."

"I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Lampkin, but I do know her sister, Shirley, having had the pleasure to work with her at the Arkansas State Health Department. Shirley is an example too of excellent love and servanthood!!

Christie and I send our condolences to all family members. Rejoice with her. She is at home with her God!"

"I always enjoyed seeing her come into Walmart when I worked there. How she loved her cats.
"

"My condolences goes out to the Lampkin family. Mrs. Sheilla was a very nice woman that I admired dearly as a young black little girl. She was the first person I recall telling me how pretty I was. I learned from her at an early age that race isn't a factor, that is possible be cared for by anyone regardless of the color of their skin. I'm sure she was a great role model to others, and provided exceptional service in everything she did and I'm most certain that she was greeted in heaven hearing "well done, good and faithful servant.""

"I am saddened to hear of the passing of this fine lady. I am retired from the Arkansas State Capitol Police (2013) and I knew Sheila when I worked there. I recall so many times when she would pass by, always had a kind word to say and a big smile on her face as she spoke to the Capitol Police officers. Sheila always appreciated the officers and often told us so. If we were lucky, we benefited from something Sheila baked for us! I'll never forget her laugh as it was definitely contagious. Rest in Peace my friend. Know that you will be dearly missed and that your service to the State of Arkansas is appreciated. I will miss you. My deepest sympathy to her family.

"Ms. Lampkin was my 6th grade math teacher. She was a good person. As a legislator, she served Arkansas well and will be greatly missed."

"The earth has lost a beautiful soul and Heaven has gained an Angel. I have never meet anyone with such compassion, love and understanding for others as Mrs. Shellia. I have known her since the fourth grade from Wilmar school to Drew Central. A great Teacher, Advocate, and Leader.She was a friend to everyone and tried her best to do whatever she could to help in anyway, especially children. A dedicated SERVANT she was. I will forever hold her close to my heart. Judge, I know this is a great loss for you, but remember to hold on to God's unchanging hand. He will never leave you nor forsake you. To be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord and her WORKS shall follow her. Oh, what a CROWN she has to wear! I will forever Love the both of you. Know that you are not alone.
She's done with the troubles of this old world. Gone but not forgotten.
Love, Sandra"
