I'm very saddened to lose one of the "corner stones" of the Mason family. My Aunt was one of the strongest women I have ever known. She had a strong sense of family and heritage; always offering her wisdom and sound counsel!! I'm proud that she was my Aunt and I'm very happy that she is now at peace and is resting in the Lord!!

I feel very privileged to have had an opportunity to get to know Cheryl. Although, only a short time, a very treasured time.
We met while we were both getting treatment for cancer, at The Oasis of Hope Hospital, in December.
My Auntie Elna, myself and Cheryl, became good friends, in a very short time. It felt like we had known each other "forever."
We shared laughs, love, hugs and tears
We are sending heartfelt sympathy to all Cheryl's friends and family.
It has been an honor and a privilege, to be able to Say, "Cheryl is my friend."
She will be missed by everyone who's life she has touched.
With much love,
Your Canadian friends,
Wanda and Elna... till we meet again
P.S
Alisha... I hope you see butterflies in every single day, and that each one reminds you and comforts you...
XOXO Wanda

I have known Cheryl for over 40 years. Around twenty years ago she called me,and told me she needed a Godmother and since then she has been my only Godchild. She delivered 2 of my grandchildren and has been a wonderful addition to my family. I am happy God in his wisdom of time has delivered my baby from her pain and allowed her to smile again. She was one of the beautiful children my best friend mothered. Thanks to all of her family for sharing her.
