Dear Annelle and Janice,
We are so sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. Mason. She was one of the first visitors who came to see me when Sammy and I moved to Somerville over 40 years ago. She was very special and so sweet. I can just see her now, sitting in a chair with her ankles crossed and her feet not touching the floor. You were blessed to have her so long.
Love, Carlyine and Sammy Pierce
