"Mama Krebill" will hold such a special place in my heart and memories of my early childhood. She was my babysitter as a little girl. I would see her as an adult at various events and I would get so excited to see her again, just like I did when I was a little girl. She was always such a sweet and special lady with a smile and sweet words that were always so heart felt. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers during this time.
With the deepest sympathy-

Aunt Helen (spouse of my mother's deceased brother) was always such a pleasure to visit whenever we were able to get together at family reunions and in later years when I was able to stop at her house when on vacation in the area. It was a pleasure and privilege. We will miss those times together. May she rest in peace.
