Mrs Mason, known as momma mason babysat my son Brandon years ago when he was small and over the years always asked about him. She was a wonderful neighbor and loved talking with her over the years. She was a special friend and she will be missed by so many.

We are sad to learn of Mrs. Mason's passing. She was a good friend and neighbor to our family both when he was a child and when we had our own children. It was a Christmas tradition, even after we moved, to go and see her nativity display. We always enjoyed visiting with her. Our love and prayers for strength in the coming days are with her family.
