Eulogy

Steve Harold Mason joined our family on January 15th, 2010. Sadly, he joined his friends in fish heaven on March 6, 2010 due to a tragic hot water accident while cleaning his fish bowl. Steve was a good fish. He loved to swim and play hide and go seek in his toy that Niah picked out for him.



He was survived by Niah, Chloe and his new fish brother, Livvy. He lived a good, surprisingly long life.




Funeral services were held at the Mason home shortly after Steve's death. Steve was buried in the rocks by our house.
Our house is not the same without you, Steve.

You were a good fish and we will miss you Steve Harold Mason.
