To the Mason and Family,
Growing up with Jamie and Jill I have spent a lot of time at their grandparents house. "Pa" had a great sense of humor and was always so easy going. He never missed a family function and always had a smile on his face. He will be missed by all his family and friends. May the memories of him ease the grief.
