Gabriel William Mason
May 09, 2017
To my soulmate, to our son, to a father, brother, uncle, friend, and lover: We will forever miss you. We will forever love you. We will forever cherish you. They say the best are taken young because they are just too beautiful for this world, and you my love were blinding. The soul was too pure, too sweet and too strong. We will live on for you. The impact you made was so strong it will last forever. I will feel you in the air, I will feel you in the warmth of the sun. I will feel you in the music my forever soulmate. God has you in his arms, in forever peace, baseball in the field with our son, beatbox in the sky. My, our forever love. Fly high, strong and loud. Love, Halley

Jim and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when Gabe would come over to your place on 30th near Ingersoll. You two would shoot some balls in the basketball game you had for him. I pray that you'll feel all of the love and prayers that your friends have for you. God be with you as your heart deals with the adjustment to the change and loss.

I loved you as my own son. You brought light to our family and you'll remain in my heart forever. You accepted Christ in our house and you have been taken into Heaven to be with your son. You're out of pain and in a peace beyond all understanding.
Halley, take comfort in Gabe's new home and life. We'll join him later and also experience this same peace! I'm always available if you need anything. BionicDad Scott

Kristin, I did not know Gabe but I knew very much your love for him and the love of those close to you as well. A mother should never have to bury their child, ever.

Cancer SUCKS. I am so sorry for your loss :(
