I can not imagine the heartbreak of losing one of my own children. It has to be the most difficult event a parent has ever faced. Mason's mother, my Aunt Doris, talked to me briefly about that fateful day. She said that she was at work and heard sirens screaming as the ambulance passed the store. She prayed under her breath that it was nothing real serious and that whoever the ambulance was going to see, that person would be okay. Unfortunately, Aunt Doris learned soon afterward that the ambulance was headed to her son's place. If my memory is correct, she said that Mason was on the rooftop of his trailer, trying to repair a television antenna. He was apparently electrocuted by wires attached to the antenna. Mason's sudden death devastated the family. He was 27 years old. No lessons in life can prepare us for such a tragedy and the deep feelings of loss sustained afterward.
