Guestbook

  1. My sympathys to the Crago family. I worked for them a lot of years and it was a time of great joy in my life.They were like family to me.

  2. Gram, you will be missed by all of us. You were there to talk to whenever we needed you. You never hesitated to help one of us out if we asked. You were a giving person who gave from your heart. You were also very independent, always doing things on your own. We both loved cats and we joked about seeing them again. So, Gram, say hello to Wahoo, Susie and Midnight for me. I love you very much and I’ll miss you. You will live in my heart forever. Liza

  3. Family members, Our dearest sympathy goes out to all who lost a wonderful, kind and loving Helen.

  4. Jan and Billy, please accept my condolences for the loss of your mom. She must have had a long good life.I have many good family memories. Bobbi Crago Mullins

  5. We just want to send you our deepest sympathies. We loved Helen as much as we loved Bertha, our mother and grandmother. Please keep in touch. Love Gail, Jim, Greg, Kim, Erica, and Natalie Blank

  6. I love Aunt Helen!! When I was a young child, she was quick with her hugs and her laughter!! She would always take time to talk with me…ask me how things were going…compliment me on my hair, makeup and clothes!!! I am grateful that Aunt Helen was in my adult life!! Over the years, we would see each other at different family gatherings…she always looked FABULOUS!!!! Even in her grief, at my grandmother’s (Ann Driscoll) funeral, Aunt Helen looked beautiful!! It was very comforting to see her again. As always, we had a chance to sit and chat…we laughed, cried and shared some memories. I made Aunt Helen laugh by saying that my grandmother was my “Mammy” and that she was my “Glammy” (I guess you would have had to be there, to think this is funny…LOL!!!) Anyway, in Heaven, all the Balon siblings are once again reunited, along with their spouses, children, grandchildren, cousins, nieces, nephews, friends…God certainly has His hands full!!! Janice, Billy and Liza…I have you in my thoughts and prayers… Love and Hugs…Linda XOXOXOX
