To the family and friends of Ms. Mary Jasper, My deepest sympathies to you all. Ms. Jasper was such a positive influence in my life and other engineering students at Mississippi State. Through the IMAGE program, she helped many students achieve engineering degrees who otherwise would have given up without the support of her and the IMAGE program family. She truly created a family atmosphere that helped many students persevere through the difficult times. May God grant you peace and rest Ms. Jasper. Love you.
