Kari & Bryce Bundy lost their precious 4 month old son, Mason, March 5, 2011. His mother was checking on him during the night and found their sweet boy blue, cold, and unresponsive. The unimaginable, every parents worst nightmare, had just become a devastating reality for them. This sudden loss has left them with shattered hearts and a funeral to plan. Mason’s passing has affected the entire Bundy & Houston family as well as their friends, near and far. This includes Mason’s sisters, Ella (5) and Lucy (23 months).
Kari & Bryce are selfless people who have helped others with open arms during their time of need. They are now sadly the ones dealing with tragedy and deserve all of the prayers we have to give and any contributions would be amazing. If we all pull together we can help create a miracle for this wonderful family. Thank you.
“I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday and the day before that too.
I think of you in silence. I often say your name.
But all I have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I’ll never part.
God has you in His keeping. I have you in my heart.
I shed tears for what might have been. A million times I’ve cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly. In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one can ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you but you didn’t go alone
for part of me went with you, the day God took you home."

Last night Kari posted a picture of Ella (her almost 6 year old daughter) clutching to some of Mason’s items and crying out for her baby brother to come home :**( .
Thank you so much for all of the donations thus far -you guys are SO wonderful! Let’s pass this around and watch what we CAN do for the Bundy’s.

My words are not enough to express how sad I feel. I know I don’t know the family but having a son also named Mason makes this very emotional for me. I’ll pray for your sweet angel. He is a precious boy. From my Mason to your sweet Mason; I hope this helps. <3

I can’t begin to imagine the heartbreak your family must be feeling. I know I don’t know your family, but I have said a prayer for you everyday since reading your story. My daughter was born the day after your precious Mason. I can’t even imagine your pain. I am sorry I am not able to donate more money, but I hope what I did contribute helps. May you find comfort and solace in the memories of your short time together. God Bless Mason and your family.

My heart breaks for your family. I lost a child while pregnant last year at 17 weeks, I can not imagine the pain you are going through. My sister passed away at 6 months old when I was five. She never came home from the hospital due to a hole in her heart & lung issues. To bring a child home and have that loss I can only give you my heart & thoughts that your two other children will help you through this. You son will always be with you & be part of your family. ::HUGS::

I cry every time I think of Mason and the rest of your family. Even though words and money can’t bring him back, I hope they at least ease the pain of everyday activities. I don’t know you, but my children and I will release balloons later today. Mason will be watching over you and smiling as you go about your lives…He will be so happy to see you all once again after he has seen your lives fulfilled and completed. Take care and know we are all grieving with you and holding your family in our hearts.
