Mason’s coworkers joined together to support their friend they cared so deeply about. Her joy and charming attitude spread among her second family at Hartford Family Court.

Her disappearance leaving a void in the workplace that cannot be filled.

"It was just like a piece of your heart is somewhere you don’t know," said Abdge.

Authorities positively identified the mother of two’s remains in Waterbury. They were found in the woods near Baystate Textiles where Mason’s ex-boyfriend Jason Watson worked.

Mason’s disappearance was felt a half a world away in Hawaii where she is from. Family and friends gathered for a vigil Wednesday to support one another.

“It’s touching. It is. It’s actually heartwarming because she actually had so many people that loved her. The fact that she is so sweet. She had a really good heart,” said cousin Karlos Mason.

Back at home, the pain is felt by two families whose lives have forever changed.
