Ellise and Robert, Ira and Sandy, and Bill and Martha –
I know that over the years we’ve fallen out of touch, but my thoughts and prayers are with you. Loss, especially in this isolating chaotic time, is painful. I hope that warm and loving memories fill your hearts as you grieve and heal. I can hear Aunt Helen’s laugh and see her quick smile even as I write this.
Be safe. Be well. Love, Cousin Gail

My sincere condolences to Bill and Martha, Ira and Sandy, Ellise and Robert and all the rest of the little Krakow achievers. The Krakow household in the 60’s was always my favorite place to be with Aunt Helen as the Matriarch of that oh so special times. Colorful people I hold in my memories and The Best Pickled Trout this side of Warsaw.
What more can I say other than I hold Aunt Helen in my thoughts and prayers tonight, and light a candle for her.

I have many fond memories of LaLa (I lovingly remember calling her). I remember sitting around her dining table and getting to see her latest art piece she was working on. She was great friend of my Grandma Debbie and to all those who knew her. May her memory be a blessing for all who knew her. I hope Helen and my Grandma Debbie are up in heaven sharing some mandel bread and laughing…….My condolences to the entire Krakow Family. Cheryl (Berman) Landau and family

Ellise and I just had our 40th wedding anniversary, because of COVID19 we were not able to see Mom in person, but we shared on the phone and on facetime. I loved Mom’s cooking and she loved me to eat and enjoy. Through our many years together, she seemed to always help our family whenever it was needed. We are very happy she has found peace. I want to thank everyone who helped Mom the past 6 years at Symphony Nursing Care in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. We have many fond memories with the residents and found many new friends with their families.

I remember as a child the fun we had with the Krakow family, how Aunt Helen and Uncle Sol and family would spend time with us. Helen wasm a wonderful friend to my mother. Leese I have not been able to call to come see your mom as I have been very sick for the past two years, doing better now. Your mother was a wonderful woman, may her memory be a blessing
