Dear Family of Mary Krimmel.
Though I never had the pleasure of meeting Mary face to face, I can't tell you how much joy she gave me with her daily emails that I've enjoyed for at least the past year or more. No matter what was written, she always had a comment about it, whether she enjoyed it or not, she always made her feelings known to Donna, Esther, and myself. She was a real joy, and I'm sure you all will miss her very much. I know we three email pals will daily. Much love for her beautiful memory.
