Why are all the good and wonderful people in our lives taken to the steps of our Lord's house too soon? I'm positive that Jane and Don, my life's one and only true love, reminisce and remember the parties, holidays, birthday dinners, and get-togethers we all shared. I'm sure they also share a chuckle or two.
I'm sure that I will be joining them before long and we'll all come together and look down with pride on our children, grandchildren and, eventually, our great grandchildren. I Think of both Mike, Jane and the whole Masson 'Army' often and wish we could do it all again.
And so, I send my fond and loving thoughts to each and every one of you.

Memories Are Forever.
By: SLH
Memories are forever.
They come and go as in dreams.
The pleasant ones seem better in retrospect.
The sad ones lose impact, with time, it seems.
Memories are forever.
They drift in and out, like the tide.
The happy ones you hope to repeat.
Mysteriously, the sad ones subside.
Memories are forever.
Soothing if feeling lonely or blue
but don't dip too deeply into them
or you will not fully enjoy the brand new ones.
Memories are forever.
No one can take them away.
Gather them up, use them to learn from.
Memories are born every day.
Memories are forever.
Cherished by all who share them with you
or they can be your special secret alone
to change the emphasis, do with them as you wish to do.
Mike, The years I have known you and Jane have been the best. I know your pain and emptiness but remember that Jane will always be with you in your heart.

Dear Mike, I have tried to email you and it would not go through. God and Jane will have loving arms around you tomorrow. Please know that I will be thinking or you and saying prayers for you. LOve, Gwynne Lee

Sweet Jane, how you are missed. We've shared so many great times since 1978 - basset hounds, southern cooking, trips to Mexico. Jane was a rock providing stability to so many. Your passing will empower us all to bring new meaning to your life as reflected in how we continue to live ours. Marty Rozelle

I first met Mike & Jane through friends of my parents. I was blessed to babysit for them many times. What I remember most was Jane's laughter and twinkling eyes. She is with God now, beautiful wings to match her eyes.
