RAY WOLGAT says
My dear sweet Aunt Betty who always welcomed our entire family of 6, from Chicago, always unannounced and without a prior phone call notice , from my father, John P. Wolgat, brother of Betty’s husband, Stanley , and my mother Helen Wolgat,
Betty’s sister-in-law, and with our family’s 4 kids in tow.
Aunt Betty always arranged
a full, made -from-scratch, delicious meal, at the drop of a hat! THANK YOU!
Her sweet, kind, warm and uplifting personality will ALWAYS be in my personal “memory banks”.
Love you always,
Your Nephew, Ray

Dear Doug and Dan and Families,
We want to let you know how dear your Mom was! Every time we came to your Mom & Dad’s house we always got a wonderful, delicious meal and even better, the comedic personalities of your Mom & Dad and catching up with our cousins! We always left with a happy heart and know why our father, your Dad’s brother, looked forward to the visits.
God Bless you Aunt Betty, and may you find peace and joy with God and your other relatives who have gone before you!
And Doug and Dan and families, may your sorrow change to happiness knowing that you did all you could to help your Mom & Dad!
Love to All, Cousin Barb, Uncle Fritz, Billy & Michael XXXX 0000
