Our condolences and Prayers go to the Shaw Family. Mr. Shaw blessed me and others many days with his wit and mere presence in excellence as he inspired so many with a positive attitude on Capital Hill, and wherever we saw each other. Eternally grateful for blessing of knowing him for more than twenty-five years. Many the peace of our Lord and Savior envelope you all with increased Joy that strengthens beyond measure or words. God Bless in Jesus name!!!
