Ms. Shaw was a real sweetheart. I was one of her caretakers at the willows and she was always so friendly with me and helpful to those around her. She loved to talk with and get to know people. She couldn’t get enough of my wife and my boys loved to give her a hug when they came up to visit. I was so sad about what happened and it hasn’t been the same without her there. My family and I miss you Ms. Shaw. We will see you again in Heaven one day.

For a number of years, I had the privilege of delivering Wanda's medicine to her when she lived in the Wells Building. I always looked forward to my visits! What a wonderful person! Humorous, caring and generous! The world is a better place because of Wanda's life!

I just had the best time reminiscing with ‘Aunt Wanda’ at The Willows in Kilgore, Texas. I have several photos of Aunt Wanda, Kathy Frazier, and Kristy Frazier (who recently passed). Aunt Wanda was fun-loving, kind-hearted, and most considerate of others. While we were visiting at niece Kristy’s bedside, Aunt Wanda asked me, “Johnny, is that your real hair or is that a toupee ?” I told her, “it’s real.” She stretched out her hand and tugged on my hair ... we all had a laugh together. It was Aunt Wanda’s entrance into niece Kristy’s hospice room that reduced me to tears. She entered the room and brought ‘so’ many precious memories of our family’s past. Much Love to the family and all of the friends of our dear Aunt Wanda. Johnny Frazier

Hello, I am the Activity Director at Willow Rehab & Nursing, where Ms. Wanda lived. I am beyond grateful and privileged to have known her. She was a very special lady. Ms. Wanda was full of sass, but had a heart of gold. Never having children of her own, she loved spending time with her nieces, nephews, and children from our Kilgore community that would visit our facility. She enjoyed painting, playing bingo, and could always be found either reading a book or trying to solve the next crossword. Recently, I was able to attend Ms. Wanda's 54th high school reunion for Overton High School. Leading up to the reunion, Ms. Wanda was so nervous to attend. She would come up with different excuses as to why she couldn't attend. I would simply reassure her that she will have a great time. As we headed home that evening, Ms. Wanda was so giddy and over joyed to have seen all of her classmates. To see her smile that evening was so rewarding! Ms. Wanda started her morning by telling me hi and asking about my son and finished her day with telling me to drive safely and to kiss my son good night for her. I truly miss having our talks and inside jokes together. I continue to pray for your family. Sincerely, Sandi Garrett, AD
