Betty E. Shaw

Jess & Connor,

My heart once again goes out to you; so many losses at such a young age. I have watched you and your strength and you have been amazing (even though you don't think so). Please remember both your mom and Chad would want you to be happy. I am sure your mother is proud of you and thankful for everything you did, no regrets.

I am there if you need me. With lots of love and prayers for you to find strength to endure.

My name is Todd Winship and I am the Operations Director for Catholic Charities Maine. I have had the pleasure to have both Jessica and Mandy work for me. I know their mother (Betty) gave these two women the strength, love and caring spirit that any mother would cherish forever. I am sorry about your loss and my thoughts go out to the entire Shaw family. Also, a special "I am thinking of" to my friend Connor. Sincerely, Todd

Mandy and Jesse: i just want to say your mom would be so proud of you both and all that you have done for her to make her last days on this earth more endurable. we will get through this difficult time and be a closer family because she would have wanted that. love you both. Aunt Cindy.

To Mandy and Jess, No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
I will always keep Betty's memories close to my heart, including all the many parent/adult conversations we had when you children were growing up. The fond memories of Holidays, birthdays, camp, and even walking together at the Skowhegan State Fair were the best. I can honestly say that she meant so very much to me and I know she thought the same of me as her...

Mandy and Jessi..........I am so sorry for your loss. You have many cherished memories of your mother, I hope these memories will help you through this difficult time. I am holding you both close in my thoughts and in my heart, I want you to know I'm here for you in any way you might need..........because I truly care and love you both.

Grammy, I remember all the times you took me to the playground and when we went for walks, you let me ride my bike. You gave me lots of hugs to show me love. You were a wonderful Grammy to me. I love you so much. I will never forget you even when I'm grown up. goodbye xoxo

I could not ask for a better mother. I hope you know that we were always here for you and willing to fight forever with you and for you. You went above and beyond to make your two daughters the best they could be and you did that all on your own. We thank you beyond words for the mother that you was. You were the greatest grandmother to our sons and beyond great as a mother to us. We miss you and will always be a part of you. We will carry you with us forever. We will never forget the things...
