My syblings and I have been incredibly blessed to have had such loving and godly parents as James Earnest and Kathryn Bernice Mason. Their affectionate love and upright character helped to mold our lives. Mom was "the best" mother a son could ever ask for. Though she has gone home to be with the Lord whom she loved and served, the effects of her faithful prayers and righteous influence linger. It is still one of my highest aims in life to make her proud of me.
Her deeply grateful son,

Dearest Mom,
She was always there for her children with her prayers and a helping hand and always with love.
She was as my brother Sam said a proverbs:31 woman. She was faihful to her God and a nurturer of her husband and children. So her children say she is blessed.
With love her daughter,
Leslie Oswald
P.S. She was not just my mother but my dearest friend.

My grandmother was a good hearted and loving person who thought more about others then herself. She was great to me and my mom over the years and when I was a child and moved to PA she even let me and mom live with her. She was there for her family anytime she could be, and was a kind person and good listner.
God bless grandma after her death on earth, because I know she Blessed us.
Love, her Grandson Esdras Oswald
