I am sorry to hear of the loss of a good friend from our early days in support of the Charleston Symphony and CSOleague. She was so generous in offering her lovely home on Set Bay for events and meetings. My condolances to her family. Eloise Pingry

Dear Mason, Tripp and David,
I am so sorry for the loss of you dear mother, who was such a pleasant person that I was so happy to have enjoyed knowing and being in her company. I used to take regular walks on Sullivan's Island, and very often would see her out walking Murray. We quickly developed a very congenial rapport, and she was as interesting as she was interested, and I felt as though I could talk to her about anything, because she had such an understanding and discerning way. She was the kind of lady that all mothers should be - sensible, no nonsense and straightforward, yet with a special heartwarming gift that will always be a loving memory.

I worked for Aline's son Mason for 12+ years. Aline came to the office many times and was always so sweet to me. Once she asked me to hide her in the lab (where I made and repaired glasses) because some people she knew were in the reception area having an argument and she knew them!!! She was so funny. We were both laughing as I had her sit on my stool and I stood in front of her!!! My heart goes out to you Mason. I know how much you loved her. Love to all the family. She was a great lady.
