To all of Barbara family, we are so very sorry for your loss. Barbara was a wonderful, caring and very helpful person in Ward 9. If something needed attention to she would make sure it would get done. We enjoyed talking and being with her at a luncheon not long ago. She will truly be missed by everyone. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Barbara's family and friends.

Mrs. Shaw touched the lives of others. She was the greatest gift to her students. From the movie, It's a Wonderful Life. "No person is a failure who has friends." & " She was the richest person in town. "

So very sorry for your loss. Barbara was a wonderful teacher to my 2 boys. She was one of those teachers that the kids never forgot. She took my youngest son under her wing and we will never forget her for that. Rest In Peace. You will be missed.
