Syprina Renay Shaw died Sunday, January 4, 2009 in Little Rock at the age of 38. She was born Friday, July 24, 1970 in Yellville, Arkansas, the daughter of Billy and Virgie Marie Jones Ford. She married Jimmy Earl Shaw on July 14, 2001 at Mountain Home, Arkansas and worked as an electronics and cell phone clerk for Wal Mart. Renay was a lifetime resident of Norfork.
Renay Shaw is survived by, her husband, Jimmy Earl Shaw, father, Billy (Dorene) Ford of Calico Rock, AR, son, Harley Brown of Norfork, AR, 3 daughters, Jennifer Elizabeth (Justin) Foster of Norfork, AR, Syprina Lynn Shaw of Mtn. Home, AR and Samantha Lorraine Shaw of Norfork, AR, granddaughter, Sarah Elizabeth Foster, grandson, Steven Erik Foster, 7 sisters, Jeneane (Jerry) Brown of Mountain Home, AR, Marie Ford of Norfork, AR, Robin Taylor of Mountain Home, AR, Tina (Danny) Boss of Mountain View, AR, Karla Richardson of Batesville, AR, Amy (Randy) Watkins of Wideman, AR and Leanne (David) Newman of Calico Rock, AR and 1 brother Eddie Ford of Wichita, KS.
Renay had been a happy and healthy woman. She loved her family and friends with all her heart. She will be remembered especially for her sense of humor, genuine sweetness, and her take-action attitude.
Renay fell ill suddenly on 12/24/08. Her husband and children took her to several hospitals in the coming days for tests to find out what was wrong and why she was continuing to get more ill by the day. She was finally diagnosed with a very rare blood disorder, but it beyond repair by humans at that point.
Syprina Renay Shaw will be loved and missed by many. I believe that Renay summed up her life for herself the best. This is her blog taken from her MySpace page written 7/22/08:
"For anybody that really knows me, knows that this song is my very favorite all time song (against the wind by bob segar) i remember the first time i heard this song, i was 10 years old and can remember laying in the back seat of a car with my brother and sister and we where either going to california or coming back from there heading back to arkansas.... i listened and learned that song that very first time, it just stuck with me. it made me think about alot of things like why i had been givin the life i had at 10. those of you that really know me know what im talking about. now at almost 38 in a couple of days i still wonder why? lots of terrrible, unthinkable things have happened to me in my life but it has made me the strong, sometimes arrogant, protective person that i am. im not a person that feels sorry for myself or anything like that, im thankful that I AM A SURVIVOR!!!!!! So in closing........ i am happy who i am, i am happy of the life that i have, i am thankful of the family that i have and love so much.... and greatful that i am alive and that none of my children had to loose their mom at such a young age as i did. its hard being 5 and remembering your mothers funeral, the last time i seen her kissed her and what few memories i have of her being alive, thank you momma for watching over me the best that you could and thank you God for allowing me to be here for my children......"

Everyday
I think about you all the time.. it is safe to say everyday. I really do wish you were still here. you would be so proud of the woman Samantha has become. I think your death has pushed her to become as stong as you were. I remember when you passed away; I didn't deal with my emotions. When I finally took a second out of being stone cold and "strong," it was rough. I still think I can drive from the school to your house to meet Samantha. I think I don't feel like you are gone, because I feel like you are with me everyday. Everyday I really believe you are around me. I know you are surrounding your other children as well. I miss you very much though. Although it has been two years, I can still hear your laugh... almost everyday.
MY MOM
Renay Shaw is my mom. She was an amazing women... and a great mom. I know i didnt give her enough credit for how great she was. i miss my mom sooo much and i would do anything just to have her back. or even see her one more time. my mom was not just a mom to me but to my friends as well. she had the biggest heart anyone could ever have. i know she is looking down on me and watching over me. i love you mom!! and i miss you soooo soooo much
missing her guidance
I miss my sister so much. I missed so much of her life because i was so busy, but that is life! I was very fortunate to have her in my life though, because she would give the best advice. i could really talk to Renay. If i was messing up she would tell me straight up. I miss her guidance so much. I know endured so much in life, but she always made it look easy. She was such a strong woman, much stronger than i could ever be. She really cared for everyone too. The last phone call I had with her, I had been really down about something stupid im sure so i called Renay for advice, she was really busy doing the million things she always did. So i just said, well i will talk to you later. We hung up, but later that night she called me back and said she was sorry she had been busy but felt bad for hanging up with me. Little things like that made her that much more special to me. She was always there for everyone! She was my sister and i am very proud to have been hers!!!!! love you renay forever, keep the angels of heaven straight girl! :)
Against The Wind
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janie was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong, we were running
Against the wind
And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded bv strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter
Against the wind
Well those drifters' days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in
What to leave out
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still running
Against the wind
Well I'm older now and I'm still running
Against the wind...
-sung by Bob Seger
My Momma
My name is Danielle Franse. I meet Renay in 2003 I remember asking her if it was okay to call her momma cause it just felt weird calling her Renay. She of course said that was just fine after that she kinda took on me and my husband as her kids and my son as her grand baby. She was an amazing woman and I miss her greatly. We always had loads of fun when we came to visit. I remember in 2008 we went to go see the Watusi Bull. When we were leaving Brian asked how they keep the ticks away don't remember what the lady said but 20 mins later Harley started to get all these red blotches on his face. We took Harley to the doc and found out that they were sea ticks. Then we find out that we are all covered in them. Later Momma was like so Brian you wanted to know how they keep the ticks away you take them with you. We all laughed so hard that was one of those days that we laughed about for awhile. I miss and love her!!!
There 's a beautiful place called Heaven, A place free from care. A Heaven where God only takes the best, We know because our Angels are there

Renay's favorite poem
The Beauty Of A Women
the beauty of a women is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure she carries,
or the way she combs her hair
the beauty of a women
must be seen from her eyes
because that is the doorway to her heart the place where love resides
the beauty of a women
is not in a facial mole
but the true beauty is reflected in her soul
it is the caring that she lovingly gives
the passion that she shows
the beauty of a women
with passing years only grows
