Dear Family,
I would like to tell you how much I loved your Jane , she was very special to me. From the first time I met her she had a spunk that even lasted in her last days with us. She was a sweet to everyone , and always had a story to tell us. I am sad to have lost her, but I am glad that she is with God and I think she was ready.I hope she knows that I loved taking care of her and will always think of her.

I only knew Mrs. Shaw through Dale and Sarah but feel like I knew her personally by praying for her. She had to have been a wonderful Mom and Grandma! I’m praying for you all as you share and enjoy memories. Much love – and appreciation- Lyn
