Mrs. Shaw and family, please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of you fine Husband. I remember coming in to the Bible Shop at The Eden Mall many years ago and chatting with you both. This was long before I met Myron and at that time my last name was Griffin. I remember the fun times I had with Tim and Ann. I also send them my deepest sympathy. Blake is currently our Associate Minister at First Baptist in Eden. I also send him our sympathy. I pray you all will feel the presence of our Almighty God in days to come. Myron and I will keep you all in our prayers. God bless and be with you all.

Dear Shaw family, I am sorry for your pain, and loss. You can find real comfort in what God has promised, such as in John 5:28,29 -He promises that he is going to resurrect all those who have ever died, back to life again here on earth. And all the things that cause us sorrow, pain, and even death, will be gone forever. You can read about this in Revelation 21:3,4, and 1 Corinthians 15:26.
