Condolences for the family of “Dorothy Mae Mason”

Condolence from Evans family on July 11th, 2018 4:42 am

We would like to offer family our heartfelt condolences. In just a little while all the pain and sorrow feel from the death of my love ones will cease and be replaced with joy, because the former things have passed away .

Condolence from Kim Dillard on July 11th, 2018 10:39 am

To the Mason family, you have my condolences in your loss. Death is never easy for families but God truly blessed her with special mightiness, as Psalm 90:10 says, “The span of our life is 70 years, Or 80 if one is especially strong.” By means of God’s Kingdom, he promises that the dead will be resurrected to life in the very near future. (John 5:28)

Dearest Mason family,
Our hearts are with you in your time of loss. Together with our congregation this Sunday we will lift up Dorothy in prayer asking the Lord our Father to welcome her into His kingdom made anew and eternal. The book of Psalms promises us that “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” We pray that He may be close to you in Spirit and carry you in His arms toward better days.

To the mason family, heart felt sadness in reading this obituary. Ms. Dorthy Mason was a caring instructor at CTI, and yes she did open up her house for group study sessions. She will be missed. Prayer to the family.
