Paul, please accept my sincere condolence as I just heard of Barbara's passing. Barbara and I had a special bond. Many memories and conversations over lunch and the last lunch she gave Troy and I both a handmade throw which I will cherish. God Bless, Ginger uller

I am the youngest daughter of G.C. and Jean Shaw. I remember going to Ft. Worth to see Aunt Hester and Uncle Leo. Barbara Gaye would come over and I played with Tara and Greg. Good memories. I'm sorry to hear of her passing, but hope it is comforting to know that she is in a better place. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

I'm so sad to hear about Barbara Gaye's passing. I'm happy though that I got to see her a few yrs. ago at the Shaw reunion. My cousins from my other mother have always been dear in my memories as their mother was my mom's identical twin sister. My prayers are for the Lord to wrap his arms around each one of you and give you comfort. Lately I've been thinking about lots of cherished memories from our visits to Ft. Worth. Hugs to all of you. Love, Sue Kenai,, Alaska
