Wow, only if we could share every memory and every smile that she left behind. In 21 years she showed us more love then most of us could do in a lifetime. We miss her and we will always love her!

Here one minute and gone the next
Wishing we could communicate via mail or text
Not being able to say good-bye was very hard
If I knew that day was coming, I would have given you a card
A card that lets you know how I feel about you
A picture that captures the moment, whether it was old or new
I'm happy to report that you lived your life just as planned
From the house to the job and being able to lend a hand
You were always there for me and I thank you everyday
I know that you are listening and can hear every word I say
I will never forget the sound of your laugh or you learning how to walk in high heels
Who knew I would have to hold on to the small memories, it just don't seem real
I keep the memories with me, small or big
Even the memory of hearing your family call you, Pig
I know that you are in a better place But sometimes I wish I could just see your face
Just keep smiling and watching over your good friend
Missing you always, until we meet again!

Shynelle,
I was thinking of you today. I have thought of you often and want you to know tht you are never forgotten. My son was aking why I was crying while I type and I could only tell him that it is because you were taken from us. God Bless you and keep looking down on us.

Four years ago today Officer
Shynelle Marie Mason
lost her life in the never
ending struggle for justice.
Her senseless murder is a reminder to
all who serve of the dangers law
enforcement officers face each
and every day. Although crushed
to the very heart of our souls
when one of our brothers or sisters are
lost we are also inspired by their
courage, service, and sacrafice.
All of our shifts today are dedicted
to Officer Mason hoping in some small
way this will bring a sense of
peace to all who knew and loved her.

Shynelle,
It is very cold today. I was making a traffic stop and thought of how cold it was. I felt a sudden warm breeze and could focus on my stop. I know that it was you. i know you gave me warm air so I could focus and be safe. Thank you. I know that you watch over me and I want to let God know that I thank him for letting you protect me.
It has been over a year but I think of you often. Thank you for not forgettig us here.
I will continue to pray for your family.

Only GOD can express the pain one feels in losing a precious being such as Shynelle Mason. One thing I would just like to remind her loved ones is that their baby is with GOD now. Many of us forget that through our greiving sometime, but Shynelle is still living on through the Lord, listening to all the funny stories her family speak of about her laughing in eternal happiness. May GOD bless her soul, her family, and her past co-workers as well. I to am a police officer, so I know the dangers that we face both on and off duty, and when things happen such as what happen to our lost sistah, we must simply honor her and her courage as well. My God bless all law enforcement, both past and present.

I to am an officer and I know you have probably heard this many times, but my heart is with Shynelle. Shynelle is with GOD now, and she is smiling down on you guys. Just dont forget that she is with the LORD and there is always a way to think of her through GOD. My deepest sympathy and may GOD keep us all safe in the environment in which we live today.I live in NYC, but if there is ever anything that I can do, send me an email. Till then, be safe and GOD bless all.

There are many individuals born everyday, and many individuals that pass on everyday. I never thought that the individual to pass so soon would be my good friend of eight wonderful years, officer Shynelle Mason. Shynelle held a special position in my life. Now she holds a special place in my heart. R.I.P. SHYNELLE

I did not know Officer Mason, but I extend my deepest condolences to her family, friends, and co workers at the Detroit P.D.  It is truly a sad day when a police officer cannot put gas into her personal vehicle without being at risk.  It is this type of incident that illustrates how much risk a person must be prepared to take when becoming a police officer in the 21st century.

Hampton Police Division

I did not know Shynelle, but I know the love she had for the job.  I am truly sorry to hear of this tragedy.  No peace officer expects to die on duty. We know and except that it may happen. I extend my deepest regrets to the family and friends of Officer Shynelle Mason.

God Bless.  Psalm 20.

Deputy Gates
Sacramento Sheriff Dept , CA

My most sincere condolences go out to the family, friends and coworkers of Officer Mason.  It is, indeed, a sad day in America when a law enforcement officer cannot conduct daily tasks off-duty without facing death.  We have an expectancy for danger on the job but dedication to duty, as was shown in this case, puts officers lives on the line at any given moment.  I did not know Officer Mason personally, but I know the reason she put on that uniform every day.  We fellow brothers and sisters who walk the thin blue line must take up the slack caused by the loss of Officer Mason. The International Association of Women Police salutes you, Shynelle.  Godspeed.
