Steve, Cathy, Wanda and Guy,
I just heard about your Mom passing. I am very sorry for your loss. We had so many good times together through our childhood days. My Mom (Nancy) has been gone 7 years. It is a very hard thing to lose your Mom. My husband and I were just talking a few weeks back wondering how your Mom was doing. I will cherish the good times we all had together. Nancy and Frances...together again....Best Friends Forever.

My thoughts and prayers are with entire Mason Family, especially Guy, Catherine and Ray during this time of remembrance. Catherine, your Mom had to be sure that you and Ray were happy and settled and I believe she thought her job was done and she could rest well. Carry those thoughts with you and live your life to the fullest.

Granny,
I am at a loss of words. You were my "granny" and Cody's "great-granny". You left us too soon. There are so many things that I needed to say before this day came, but I was too late. I want you to know, just how much I love you and I miss you, and how you will always be my granny. Now I hope you are walking in heaven and feel no more pain. My thoughts and prayers are with my family right now in this time of greef. Rest in peace Granny. xoxoxo, Jessi Boo (she always called me that)
