After learning of her death, Sheridan’s former co-stars took to social media to pay their respects.
“Truly one of the most genuinely sweet and gentle people I’ve ever come across in my life,” actress Donna D’Errico, who worked with Sheridan in the 2015 film Only God said.
At the time of her death, filmmaker Michael Dunaway shared that he and Sheridan were “attached at the hip” and “true soulmates from minute one.”
