Mason Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We were sadden to hear of Sherman's passing:
May His (God's) hand be on your shoulder
Through these trying hours and days,
His guiding light surround you as you
tread these shadowed ways.
May you know His warmth as sadness
Breaks its cold wave on your shore;
May you feel His love enfold you
With a faith sound and secure.
May His presence close beside you
Give you strength to carry on,
Trusting in His tender promise
Of a new and brighter dawn.
With our deepest sympathy,
Melvin, Robin, Mia, Timeka and Brea
