To the entire Mass family, I wish to send my most sincere and deepest condolences on the loss of Joan. I had the greatest opportunity to meet her through church, bring her communion, and most importantly become her friend. She was an extremely special person and I'm most gracious that I have had the opportunity to visit with her and hear stories about her family whom she truly loved. I have a hole in my heart that her presence occupied. May you find peace and comfort that she loved you all.

Dear Tom, Danny, Vida and the entire Mass family: Jody (Rathbun) and I (Bob Frimel) wish to send our deepest sympathy to you for the loss of your mother. Jody fondly remembers as a neighborhood child getting fresh milk from Mrs. Mass, and I appreciated the dedication that your father had as the P E instructor at St. Edwards. We still have the glass greenhouse that your parents so willingly gave us back in 1983. Jody has developed a very nice greenhouse business (Mill Hollow Nursery), using the glass house as its cornerstone, for the last 25 years. I just wanted to let you know that we have great memories of your folks. With kind regards, Bob & Jody Frimel
P.S. Jody here...I also remember her beautiful gardens and how much pride she took in maintaining her yard. Between her gardens and greenhouse I'm sure she had an influence for my love of gardening and flowers. Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of your Mom.
