Dear Bud, Mary Moses, Janet, and all the Crum family:
My heart is sad today to learn of Mary Ann's death. I have many fond memories we made together, especially the fun and good food at our Pitch Club gatherings.
I cannot be with you Wednesday to honor Mary Ann, as we are still isolating during the pandemic, but I am sending virtual hugs and deep sympathy to you all. I know you will comfort one another.
