My deepest sympathies to Sharon and the family. Dr. Shaw was my supervisor at GW from the spring of 1971 until he retired in 1997. I greatly enjoyed working with him as his lab tech. God bless the family.

Dear Sharon,
Every time I pass Holiday Park I remember how you, Sheri, Andrea and maybe Donna playing with your dolls. That time in my life was a special time. Your family was so much fun to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My dad became my hero and my friend when I began my path at gwu as a student and eventually an associate professor. We met for lunch, walked to see the cherry blossoms etc and I saw him thru the eyes of his colleagues and students and realized what an amazing man he was
