Dear Nancy, I was so sorry to learn of your Mother's passing. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time. -Shez

I just wanted to let all "the kids" know how sorry I am about your mom. She will leave a huge void, I know, as - to echo my sisters sentiment a little less eloquently - she filled any space she was in with so much life. She was passionate about darn near everything! I know that is part of what my dad loved about her (well, most of the time ?). It was so obvious that they loved each other deeply and on many levels were soul mates. I am glad that they had so many good and adventurous years together. I hope you have a wonderful day together tomorrow remembering and laughing about all the good and crazy and loving times. Tho I cannot be there, I will be thinking of you. Love, Jan

What a coincidence...Fran left this world Monday, then Becky was right behind her. They must have been going to a bridge game or a party somewhere and were in a hurry (as they always were). Both of them together was more than you and I could handle sometimes. Becky was indeed a unique outspoken woman who lived her life to the very fullest, never a dull moment around her. I share your grief.

Nancy- So sad to hear of your Mom's passing. She was definitely a feisty lady as I remember her joining one of the girl friend gatherings in Atlanta and entertaining us with her stories and comments! May you be surrounded by the love of family and the peace of God as you all navigate her loss.

Nancy, My prayers are with you and your family in this time of sadness especially at Christmas and so close to her birthday. But hopefully the blessing is she is still your guardian angel. At our annual gathering we are always asking about you and I hope to see you at one of them some day.

Becky will always be remembered as a unique and fiesty woman who captivated whatever room she was in with her charm and spirit. I am blessed to have known her and my Dad was blessed to have her as the " love of his life". Our thoughts and prayers are with you! Love, Patti

So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. I have wonderful memories of the Mason family from your many years in Thomaston. I was fortunate enough to travel in a group of Scouts with your Mother and Father to a conference in Colorado, what a trip it was. I will always credit your parents for helping me achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. But I probably learned a lot more when I caddied for your Father at Thomaston Country Club. God bless you all.

So sad to read this today, but what a beautiful picture of your mom. I was so excited to connect with her several years ago and her consignment shop in Sandfly. Great memories of your mom, dad, and all of you, in Thomaston. How neat that so many of us ended up in the Savannah area. My son even met Kemp in a class at GSU. Small World! Remember the good times!

My condolences to the Mason and Kerr family for the loss of your dear loved one. May your hearts be comforted in knowing that death was not a part of Jehovah God's purpose. Therefore, he has promised that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous (Acts 24:15). Also during the days to come, may Mrs. Kerr's sweet memories fill your hearts with joy and peace.
