Our prayers and condolences are with each of you at this time. Although many years have passed, I have such vivid and warm memories of her. She was my “other Mom” and will be greatly missed. Chad Krukowski & family
George, Brent and David, I’m so sorry for your loss. Helen was a special woman with a tremendous capacity to love. Often, when dealing with my own sons, I remember her great love for her sons and I am inspired. Though I ran into her only occassionally lately (usually in Krogers) I will miss the wonderful talks we had. All my love and prayers,
We would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the entire family.
PLEASE ACCEPT THE BARONE FAMILIES SINCERE SYMPATHY ON THE PASSING OF HELEN. GEORGE, I WAS OUT OF TOWN, IN FAIRMONT WV.
