I don´t really remember my Aunt Thelma. She was married to my dad´s youngest brother Uncle Carl. There were 6 siblings and my dad Bryan was in the middle and the youngest of their family was the only girl, Aunt Alba. I am the youngest of Bryan´s 12 children and have lost all of my siblings way too soon. My love goes out to Aunt Thelma and Uncle Carl´s family and my son has an ancestry account if anyone is interested in more details. With love, Wanda Mason

Thelma Mason was my aunt and Uncle Carl was my dad’s younger brother. Uncle Carl died shortly after my dad Bryan in1982. They were both very special. I just found this and wanted the family to know they have more family in California. Regards, Wanda Mason-Lopez.

To Mrs. Mason's Family,
You have my sincere sympathy. I did Mrs. Mason's hair some years back. She was always very sweet and wore a smile. The last time I saw her she was having lunch at Hurricane Kate's with some other ladies from the care home and still enjoying life. I know how she loved her family and surely left you all with many cherished memories.
