MASON JOEL WALDING

Leah & Family, We just found out about Mason today. We are so very sorry to hear the news. Please know we are praying for your family during this hard time. Lean on God. He will walk you through this. Love you much, Todd and Christine Smith

Years have past since I have spoken to Mason and unfortunately now it is too late to get a chance. But I still have a clear picture of him in my mind walking the halls of GCHS wearing his football jersey and grinning from ear to ear. He always had a kind word and was so giving of his time and effort. I can't wait to see him in heaven.

Leah & Family, I read about Mason today for my first knowledge of the accident. I'm so sorry. I wish I knew the right words to say or the right things to do to make things ok with you again. But I know there are none. I do want all of you to know if I can do something for you please don't hesitate to call. I love ya'll and miss you lots. As often as I think of you, I NEVER thought I'd be thinking along these lines. Much love to ya'll. Sadie Rice (Compassionate Hands Hospice)

The family and friends of Mason will always be in my thoughts and prayers. He was always there for me when I needed him, no matter what. From helping Mr. Charlie coach me in city league to umpiring with him in Slocomb, I have so many great memories of him. Mason was the best friend anybody could ever ask for. He touched so many lives and left his mark on so many people. He will forever be missed and never be forgotten. I love you so much Mason!!!

To the entire Mason Walding family, I got to know Mason through umpiring baseball over the years and even umpired a few games with him. He was always very polite and full of energy.We struck a friendship that I cherished. He was a great young man and I will forever miss him.

I only got to meet Mason in person a few times, but I trusted him alot back in his dispatching days. Whenever we got into a mess on the ambulance, I was reassured to know he was working and helping us out in dispatch. I hope the sentiments that others have shared here are a comfort to you. They are certainly a testament to the man Mason was and the impact he had on the people around him... including me. While our world sure seems awfully empty with him gone from it, it was certainly made...
