Dear Shaw Family,

My condolences in the passing of Gail. She and Irene babysat me and my brother when we were growing up. Our mother was 'Miss Freddie' at Estevan Center. I have such fond memories and of course remember going to Duke's Drive inn as a child.

May God continue to bless and keep each and every one of your family. Our thoughts and prayers to you, Irene.

Sincrely,

Jacque Barnes Price
