I'm sorry to see you leave the Patch Krista, as you did a great job getting the Chelmsford Patch off the ground and running smoothly. I got to know you very well during these past two years and you couldn't have been nicer or more friendly to me. You brought a smile to my face every time I saw you at our many Chelmsford events and gatherings.

I am pleased to read that you are moving on to further your career dreams, though I will miss your editing of the Patch very much. I have written and submitted so many pieces to the Patch that it feels like a comfortable second home to me, and that's all thanks to you, as I wouldn't have contributed so much to the Patch without your support and friendship.

So, as some of my "Godfather" friends say to those who are taking a trip, "Buena Fortuna"....

Good luck Krista! Thank you for all your hard work the past two years.

Thank You Krista, nice article. Good Luck as you follow your heart.

Good luck Krista! I'm stepping into some big shoes here.

Wishing you all the best Krista!

Have a great life>

Thanks for creating a near real time way to find local news and opinion. The Chelmsford Patch is now a more up to date source of news than the local newspaper. The blogs and letters provide a community spirit and virtual forum to indicate views on local issue from politics to frozen yogurt.

Krista, thanks for all that you did for the Chelmsford Patch and for the citizens of Chelmsford. It will be hard to see you go, but it's good that you're following your dreams. All the best of luck and success to you.

Best wishes Krista!! Thanks for everything!! Without you I'd still be a sad blonde. :o)

Krista, you were a great asset to the Town of Chelmsford, you will be missed. The very best in your new endeavor.

Best of Luck, Krista-I'll miss our chats at BOS meetings, thanks for introducing me to the world of blogging, and I'll think of you every time I'm at a Walgreens Dog Rally. And watch out for those hot-tempered hockey players-you will be missed!

Krista, thanks for you dedication to our community and for your always detailed coverage covering these events. I looked forward to your coverage as most times I could not be there personally. You will be missed. However, over the past 2 years I have watched your interest blossom and the positive change that ensued. I have no doubt that this is going to be a wonderful and rewarding opportunity for you. Keep blogging so we can follow along.

Thank you Krista for the interesting articles and ideas that appear here.

Congratulations Krista! You deserve to achieve your dreams. You have done such a wonderful job keeping the community more informed. It was always pleasant to meet you and communicate on the Patch. Thanks for your dedication!

Congrats, Krista. Wishing you the very best. Thanks for the memories :) Mmmbop to the moon!

Krista, I'm very sorry to see you go, although I am very happy for you. Wishing you great success as you continue to pursue your dreams!

All the best for your future, Krista! Nice to have met you and the PATCH at a coffee morning with Chelsmford Reps and Residents back in 2012! Thanks for all your great reporting!

Krista, as Andrew Sylvia notes above, he has a lot to live up to. Thanks for being so thoughtful and conscientious in your editing role. We will miss you, and wish you well. It may be that working as you have in Chelmsford has been good preparation for the hockey rink... :-)

Thanks for the near-round-the-clock coverage, Krista. Good luck in your sports/hockey communications career. Make sure to wear your protective gear!

Good luck Krista. Since Chelmsford politics is a full-contact sport, you are well prepared for your new endeavor. You were at so many meetings in town - BOS, School Committee, Selectmen, Fincom, debates, meetings, candidates nights - that I thought there must be 2 of you. Great job. I'm sad Mason Ohio doesn't yet have a Patch as I look forward to moving there soon!

Aw. :-(

Krista - I will definitely miss you! Thank you so much for always managing to squeeze in articles about the events going on at Agway - even though I always sent the requests last minute! I wish you well in your new career - with your personality, I'm sure you will succeed in all your endeavors.

Krista,
Best of luck as you continue on your new path!! Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing!

I'll miss you Krista. Thank you for all the encouragement you have given me about my recipes and allowing me to publish them. But you girl, you are going places! All the best of luck - I'm sure I am going to say "I knew her when".

Krista, Best of luck in every thing you do. Its been wonderful to see you here for the past two years. Make sure to check in and let us know how everything is :-)

Krista, Best of luck with your new adventure. Thanks for taking the time to follow and post some of those odd happenings around town like the 4:00am march to Concord. I hope that Andrew has even half the energy and tenacity that you brought to the Patch.
Hope to see you around town every once in a while!

Krista,
I'm lagging behind a bit in my correspondence but my good wishes for you are no less sincere! Here's hoping that happiness and success are found wherever you go -- and thank you for opening the door to me when I first explored writing for Patch. Here's hoping you find many open doors....and keep showing up around Chelmsford!

Congrats Krista!!! Good luck with everything.
