John Shaw

So sorry to learn of John's passing on October 30! He was a gentle giant doing much good while here on earth! Lani, we are so sorry you lost your dear companion far too soon! We always loved seeing you and visiting with you at the Logan Family Reunions! Glad you were able to travel and make many special memories in recent years! We love you and pray for you to be blessed and comforted at this difficult time! Ward and Janis Rasmussen and family

Dear Shaw Family, We are so happy that John became a member of our family when he and Lani were married. We loved him, and enjoyed our time spent together. He will truly be missed. The Lee Family

Lani...we are so sorry for John's passing. We know he was a kind man and our heartfelt condolences go to you. So glad we got to meet him and you. There was a warmth in the room each time we visited with you two.
