HI SALLY, MY NAME IS VALERIE AND MY SON CHARLES DIED IN A TRAGIC BOATING
ACCIDENT. HE WAS 33 AND LEFT A WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN. HE WENT FISHING AND FELL
OVERBOARD AND THE PROPELLER CUT HIS VERTEBRAL ARTERY AND HE BLED TO DEATH.
GRUESOME. I'M STILL DEALING WITH HIS DEATH AND THE DENIAL AND ACCEPTANCE PART OF
IT.
MY HEAD KNOWS HE'S GONE BUT MY HEART HASN'T CAUGHT UP YET. I SEE A THERAPIST
AND DR. I'M ON MEDICATION. IT SEEMS TO HELP. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE ITS TRUE.
SHARE YOUR ANGEL WHEN YOUR READY

LOVE VALERIE
MOM OF
CHARLES RAY SHAW
2-3-68 1-29-02
FOREVER IN MY HEART AND SOUL
