Michael D. Shaw

4 years ago you left this world...and you will never be forgotten! SO MANY memories pop up throughout each year that make me think of you, wishing I could call you and laugh about it. I hope you are leading a choir up there & dancing up a storm! That´s what you were meant to do. Rest easy my friend!

God rest you, Michael..

As others have stated, your picture is how I remember you when last I saw you in DC. We had shared a very nice dinner together. When I think that we met as seniors in HS and kept somewhat in touch through the decades. I especially remember when you first moved to DC AAnd lived with Howard and I for a number of months. I loved going downtown with you to look for a place for you to call home. More than anything, I feel honored in how you were always so kind and so open when we would spend an...

Almost 2 years now you´ve been gone Michael. Your picture is exactly how I´ll remember you always. More importantly tho, all the little JAPANESE stickers you left all over my house prior to going to work over there. Had I paid attention , I might know some Japanese now. Your name comes up often & I miss being able to know I can pick up the phone & call you. I hope you are spreading your wings up there, I´m sure there´s an ANGEL CHORUS up there singing your music.

A year has passed since you left this world Michael, but you come to mind often. I am forever grateful to have known you and worked with you with the hospital PFAC. You made a difference in so many ways and the world is a better place because you were in it. You are missed, but my memories with you will always make me smile. <3

1 yr. ago today you left this world...what I wouldn´t do to have one more conversation with you! So many people admired & loved you...I hope you know that now...looking down on us!!! Miss you & think of you often!!

I just learned of Michael´s passing today. My first memory of him was around 10 years ago when he organized a "flash dance" in the hospital cafeteria (when such a thing was very cool). All eyes were on him - he was magical. I remember thinking "wow, he must be a trained dancer!" After that I always remembered him and sought him out to say hello. He always smiled and giggled. Children´s will never be the same.

Michael was/is a shining star. And unforgettable spirit. RIP.
