Dear Mr. Shangraw & Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your wife/mother. Mrs. Shangraw was a very involved parent. I enjoyed being in her girl scout troup. She was a very good role model and leader. I have fond memories of being your neighbor from so many years ago. Please take care of yourselves during this difficult time.

Dear Bob, Kathy and family ,
I was so sad to hear about Jan's sudden passing. She always made me feel welcome years ago when I would join you holidays or spent a day in Otis with Kathi and the boys. You are in my thoughts. Hold your memories close to your heart and she will always be with you

To Bob and family, we are saddened to learn of Jan's death. She exemplified what a real nurse is in her work. I remember the good times we had camping at Yankee Trails Girl Scout Camp. She was an incredible leader and spread her love of scouting to her troop. May the love of your friends and family help you through your grief.

To my dear friend Vicki and all the Shangraw family,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I remember her patience and kindness when all the East Granby kids invaded her home & yard to play, swim and hang out together. She was instrumental in providing a happy childhood to many.
With love,
