I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Ms. Shaw. I worked with her at Ansonia Middle School for a short time. Your family has my deepest sympathy. I pray that the Lord gives your family strength like no other and that God be pleased with her. Rest in the hands of our Heavenly Father, Ms. Shaw.
