I was just looking up old friends and came upon this, I really am sad to hear . So sorry we never kept in touch with you guys. Like gets busy. So, a lot of fond memories with The Mason family. Your mom was my favorite. I remember when I last saw her at Methodist Southlake, before she passed. She and Mrs. Arnold were surprised to see me. We talked for a while. Man that seems like forever. Now , man I don't have words Harlan was like my little brother. Man you all take care of each other. I remember you masons were a light family, something I never had. My family was a mess and we didn't even talk or like each other, but I remember The Mason we're like the family I never had. What wonderful times we had, Joe, Kevin, My girl Deanie, Love Marla, my bro Harlan, and whoever could forget the beautiful Julia Lynn, Much Love to you all K
