Steve, Bernie and the entire family my deepest condolences go out to you. I only knew Betty for a short time but I truly admired and loved her. Her spunk, her gratitude and sense of humor was a joy. She always went out of her way to make us feel welcome and thanked us constantly. She will be missed but I know she is so happy to be with Don. God bless you all. On behalf of myself and Yvette, we thank you for allowing us into your parent's hearts.

Our sincere condolences to the family of Don and Betty. Our parents, Bill[also Lithuanian] and Charlotte Gaubas, ran a small business next door to Don and Betty's for many years. We always had a great respect for them as successful business people. Bill and Charlotte enjoyed golf and/or dinner outings with Don and Betty when schedules allowed. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Bob, Dan and Nancy, and Roger Gaubas

12-2003 Country Club Lunch

I traveled from Colorado Springs to Rockford in December 2003 and had lunch with them and Kathy at their country club. Although our contact over the past several years was limited to Christmas cards and by talking to my mother Helen, Betty's cousin, I am saddened to know that they are no...

My mom and dad were great friends with Betty and Don. Golf, bridge and good times bound them together. My mom always loved Betty's kugeli and finally begged her enough to get her recipe. I also loved Betty's kugeli and made sure my mom handed down her recipe to me.
My condolences on your mom's passing.
