Mason, No greater joy has ever been known than having you for a grandson. You were a joy to all of us... No one truly understood the love you shared with your brother-- the pain of losing Josh was more than you could bare. My prayer now-- is that you have found the greatest love of all. The love of our heavenly Father. He holds you both now and for that I am eternity grateful. You will always hold a special place in my heart.I miss and love you so much. I am so grateful for the precious time we had together.

Oh my sweet Mason you have given my life such joy and laughter and pride. It was an honor and a privilege to claim you as my nephew. I will cherish the memories I have of you and I am grateful for the time to know you . I love you so very very very much. I will miss you so much...... I haven't the words to describe the void that's left in the world. I hope that you're holding Joshua now and both of you are wrapped in the loving arms of our savior. Until I see you both again I will hold tight to the memories you gave and cherish them like the jewels they are. All my love always.
