Your family is in our thoughts and prayers as you deal with the loss of Mary Jane. We worked together
for over 20 years at Serta Mattress where Mary Jane’s contributions were an important part of the
company’s success. She was a very hardworking and conscientious person with whom I enjoyed
working. I will always remember the way that she started the day with a cheerful smile.
I regret that I will not be able to attend the funeral services but I am currently out of town. Please
forward my condolences to the entire family.

Jane was an amazing sister-in-law. She worked hard, helped everyone, and was always there for family. She was a faithful and supportive wife to my brother. I did not say often enough how much I loved her. I was blessed by knowing her. She will never be forgotten. Rest in well-deserved peace. Love Steve
