I would like to offer my condolences, i worked with both Charley and Clarissa at the Hab Center for many years. I admired and respected both my heart is a little empty with both of them gone.

Hey Jeanie, Sherri, “little” Donnie, bro and sis and the rest of the family, sorry I cannot attend but will keep you in my prayers.
Your mother was such a wonderful lady. I first met her when i was just 16 years old assigned to Cottage 3 at the State School. Your mother and i shared a favorite client together named Billie. He just adorded her. He even called her mommy because his family didn’t ever visit him. She was such a well respected and devoted employee. She was a mentor to so many people throughtout the years. I’m so sorry for your loss. She will be missed.
To the family of Clarissa Mason, I am sorry for your loss. There is a scripture that comes to mind, in Psalms 90:10 it says “In themselves the days of our years are seventy years, and if because of special mightiness they are eighty years,” Mrs. Mason was 82 years old, she had special mightiiness. Jehovah God kept his loving arms around her for 82 years. Jehovah does not want any of us to die. That is not his purpose for mankind. When he created our first father Adam, he created him perfect, in good health, young, vibrant, no aches or pains, he was made to live forever. His purpose still stands for us. Jehovah gave his son in behalf of you and I all the world of mankind, so that we may live. John 3:16 says “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” What a wonderful promise from Jehovah. Mrs. Mason will live again, John 5:28,29 says “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” So that hour is coming for Mrs. Mason to come out of her tomb. I pray that Jehovah will continue to be with you all.
