My prayers go out to the Krystof family. Helen was very active in St. Patrick's Church, in Elmira, while I was in the Women's Club. She baked for the Bingo kitchen, and attended all the meetings faithfully. She was a good friend, and a devout Catholic. She and Frank were a very special pair, as were Marie and Regina. I cherish my memories of all of you.
