Herry's Mother appears in a song "Herry's Family Song" with Herry, his granny, and his dad. There she contributes a verse that points out how she and her son have very similar long, purple noses. A different version (made from another Herry puppet) appears in We All Sing Together. This version was in her sporadic appearances on the show from season 24 (at the earliest) through season 29.
Herry sings about his mother in the song "Furry Blue Mommy of Mine."
