    William always said he was just passing through this life. Bless his heart, he can finally rest. He and I go all the way back to when I was a kid when he taught the RA class at Calvary. He was a rock at the church. He was always there no matter what. If I could live out the rest of my days being just half the man he was, I would be satisfied. God bless and keep Donna and prayers for the rest of the family. This man will surely be missed. God rest your soul William Shaw!
