The Laura E. Mason Foundation (LEM) was created in 2014 in memoriam of Laura E. Mason, a missing person of Kansas City, MO since March 24, 1993. Laura's case is unsolved and remains a cold case within the KCMO Police Department. The foundation was created by her children with the purpose of carrying out Laura’s spirit within the community through service.

​

Laura gave her children many pearls of wisdom during her time with them. These pearls are the epitome of the foundation's core and the heartbeat of each program initiated by LEM. Without a gravestone or other usual memorial relic, this foundation will serve as a living memorial for Laura's legacy.
