Elissa, Jeff and family: So sad to hear of your loss.  Our Sympathy and prayers are with you. God Bless

Mary was a wonderful person & made an impact on so many people. She had an awesome personality and a smile that would light up the room. When we spent time with Mare we would always have a good time with a story or two and a lot of laughs.  I am so glad we were a parrt of her life and she a major part of ours. She was one of a kind & will be missed by all. We loved her very much  & will cherish our many memories. Family times will surely be different without her. Our love to all of our family & especially to Mom, Dad, Elissa & Ian.

Thanks to all for the wonderful kind words about Mary.  She touched so many lives in such a positive way. She will be missed

Every time I walked by Mary at her job, I was rewarded by a wonderful, warm smile.  She knew I was friends with her Mom  - we worked at adjoining desks on the floor above.  Adieu to a very sweet daughter with a beautiful smile. So very sorry, Marie, please take good care of yourself. Kathryn and Warren Bowden.

I cried when i heard Mary was gone that fast. I was the security guard where she worked in cherry hill, I always enjoyed talking with her in the mornings when she came in, and i used to run into her at different places around town, she was one of the nicest people I know, and with that beautiful smile, I will miss her dearly, my heart n prayers go out to her family.

There should be many more Mary's in this world, she made you feel special, she never judged. She will be missed dearly. Thoughts and prayers are with her family at this difficult time.                                       Charlene Bozman and Debbie Fulleylove

Mary was such a kind person. I have many fond memories of her growing up on Frazer Ave. May your memories of her give you peace at this difficult time.

My heart goes out to the family. She always could make anyone smile. She will be sadly missed.

mary,you will be remembered for your kindness but also your sense of humor.

I saw this in today's Courier, and recognized her immediately. Which is amazing, because we were friends when I was about 7 and she was 8. Mary was like a big sister to me, I lived right on Frazer Avenue too.  Wow, the EXACT same smile I remember so well. It actually choked me up. All you Sheffields were such a nice family. Kevin, I am so sorry. You are in my prayers.

Mary will be missed and I'm sorry I didn't spend more time with her, but I am grateful for the time I did spend with her.  God bless her and her family.

Condolences,
Marty Flynn

To the Sheffield and Lutz families.  
I went to school with Mary.  She was always nice to me. We went thru the Collingswood school system together.  She always seemed to have a smile on her face.  Even when others weren't so nice to me, Mary was always nice.  When I went to the 10th reunion and she saw me, she gave me a hug.  I will always have nice memories of her.  She is one of God's angels. May God be with you.
