Geri you and Mason were that special lifetime friend to my parents, always there no matter what, I am eternally grateful for that. Mason's accomplishments speak for themselves. To me he was the guard of the gate, his mere presence in life gave you a feeling of being safe. As the trumpet blows, guns fire and the flag is folded for the last time one more great hero shall lay to rest in our National Cemetery. An honor he well deserves. I will miss him greatly.
