Sharon,
I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. I worked with Mary for many years at Herff Jones & have such fond memories of her & all the happy times & laughs we had through the years.
She was a wonderful person & will never be forgotten.

Just heard about Mary's passing. Or "the Sarge" as Mary was affectionately known to the shipping department back in 1977. If you defined all the elements that make up a 'warm and wonderful person' you would be describing Mary. I still smile all these years later when I think about Mary which I think is the way "the Sarge" would have wanted it. Very sorry for your loss.

Sharon, so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was a wonderful woman and always so kind and welcoming to me at Herff Jones when I first met her. Small world... May God bless her, you and your family.

Sharon,
Sean and I are very sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I loved talking to Mary on the phone and especially seeing her in person. She was very proud of you, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
