Not sure what to say?





I grew up with Ann Krahe and her parents were like my second parents. They were wonderful people and their children are a testament to the type of morals and character they instilled in them. May Robert and Julie rest in peace together.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the Krahe family once again. I have many fond memories of Christmas gatherings at the Krahe house on 29th St, with all of my Konzel aunts, uncles and cousins. Everyone had a great time. Bob was the life of the party and a joy to be around.
