Mason Storm APPLE

APPLE, Mason Storm, of Tampa Florida, born on December 14, 1994, passed away in the early morning hours on this past Thursday, the 15th of Octo-ber, 2015. Mason is survived by his mother and father, Lisa & Sunny Apple; his sister, Madison Apple; two brothers, Landon and London Apple; and grand-father, Kenneth Nelson. Mason was a bright, driven, kind-hearted soul who grad-uated as 01 Enseign Officer in ROTC from Leto High School 2013. Mason brought light and love to all who knew him; he loved all who knew him, but the love he had for his family and siblings can not be com-pared. We will miss you every day but as the poem says, "I have only slipped away into the next room, nothing has happened, everything remains exactly as it was. I am I and you are you, and the old life that we so fondly lived together is untouched and unchanged, whatever we were to each other that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name, speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be forever the house-hold word that it always was. Let it be spoken with-out an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. What is this death but a negligible acci-dent. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight ? I am but waiting for you, for an interval some-where very near, just around the corner, all is well with My Family. Services are TODAY, Thurs-day, Oct. 22, A.P. Leto High School, 4:30PM to 8:00PM.
