I am the granddaughter of Blanche Mason. Didn’t see Betty often but when we would meet I was always impressed with how she remembered me. The last time I visited with her was at her home several years ago when I was trying to get information about the family tree on the Mason side of the family. So sorry that she has passed, she was a beautiful woman.

You provided great care to a special person. She will be missed. I will be thinking of you.
