I met Helga when we moved to Grayslake in 1965. She was very gracious to us all and a very nice lady. She had a great sense of humor and I always enjoyed talking with her. She’s been sick for the past few years but very well taken care of by her family. You just can’t beat a classy lady with a great sense of humor. God Bless you Helga, Lou Frank
Churchill family, So sorry to hear of your mother’s / grandmothers passing. A Great lady. Our thoughts are with you. Scott A.M. Sam’s and Family
To the Churchill family …we were out of town this weekend but our thoughts were with you. Mrs. Churchill was a true lady, and I always enjoyed our chats … usually on her way walking to or from church. We have missed that over the past few years.
