Early Saturday morning
Mason has begun the process of passing from this world. He is not in pain, and can understand at least some of what we say to him. The hospice nurse is here to help us make sure he is not in any pain. She estimates that this process will take 1 to 48 hours. We are telling him funny stories about his life.

Dear Danielle - Sending all my love to you and your family. I had a younger brother with cancer when I was a kid - I don't know if you knew that... anyhow, my thoughts are with you. I know what my parents went through.
I'm so glad I got to meet Mason this summer.
Take gentle care of yourself. You are very special.
Love,
Deborah Bell
Dear Kirk, Danielle, Matteo, Mason and Francisca
May God's peace be with you today and everyday. You have been, and will continue to be,in our daily prayers. Mason's smile will never be forgotten--I NEVER make a batch of chocolate chip cookies without thinking about his big blue eyes batting up at me and saying,"may I have just one more Mrs. Amanda--because your cookies are my favorite!" I pray that the strength and courage you have posseessed thus far continue to carry you through this next difficult time.
Love
The Bautista Family

You have all been in our prayers during this long, hard fight. Cristian and Noemi were really happy to have spent a little time with the boys at the pool this summer . . . like old times back in Quito. May God strengthen you each in the days and weeks to come and bless you with His peace . . .

Dear Leach family,
A Song by Stevie Wonder...For Mason
Seize upon that moment long ago
One breath away and there you will be
So young and carefree
Again you will see
That place in time...so gold
Steal away into that way back when
You thought that all would last forever
But like the weather
Nothing can ever...and be in time
Stay gold
But can it be
When we can see
So vividly
A memory
And yes you say
So must the day
Too, fade away
And leave a ray of sun
So gold
Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
Though not imagined
All things that happen
Will age too old
Though gold
With Love,
Josette and Vincent
