Dave and Susan, I am deeply sorry for your devastating loss. You now have a special angel watching over you.
You both can relax and stop worrying now she is at rest and out of pain. She will be watching over you both. May she RIP. She looked like a very warm personality to know.
My deepest condolences for you and your family loss.
Worked with your Mom at KSD and KS94/KUSA. Radio. She was my buddy. We’d talked everyday about things. Very sweet, kind and caring woman. She would also keep me out of trouble with the boss. Praying for Helen and family.
Sorry for your loss bur relieved that Helen is now at peace with God. Now you can take care of yourself Dave.
May God take you in his arms. My sweet Aunt Helen will be missed. She was the last of my Aunts and Uncles from a great generation. God bless you David/Susan. You and your kids were her pride and joy. I will miss having Manhattans at Christmas. A great tradition that we’ll continue in honor of all our Kruczyk Aunts and Uncles
Our sincere sympathies on the loss of your loved one. She sounds like a wonderful lady.
May your memories be happy ones to sustain you.
