Dennis and I offer our sympathy to all of the Family and Friends. We remember Walter and Rosemary from our days at Northwestern High School and from our St. Rose Church. God Bless you all. You all had a nice Mom, and she certainly lived a long life. Remember the good times…when our Lord gets fed up with this world, He will send to Heaven all the believers and everything there will be perfect. You will see your Mom again and all who have passed on from your Family and loved ones.
We will pray for all the Krisa Family. Your faith will carry you through this time of sadness.
Peace, hope, and love –
Dennis and Cathy (Kenny) Garrett

Dear family,
I am so sorry for our loss. Aunt Helen lived a long life and that is a true testament to her strength and love. I feel so blessed to have had her as my aunt and to carry the memories of her kindness and warmth..
I am heartbroken that I cannot be there, and it weighs heavily on my heart. Please know that I am with you all in spirit during this difficult time. May you find comfort in one another and in the many beautiful memories Aunt Helen leaves behind.
With love and deepest sympathy,
Shari & Stan

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Helen was a dear lady I got to know while visiting my dear Tink at the Villa. Helen and Tink had a special friendship.
