As the days and years pass by and other families members pass with those who have gone to their eternal rest, I still have my fond memories of Aunt Kay and Uncle Chub. Our families always had great visits when we got together. Aunt Kay will always be missed but remembered in our hearts as a loving person.

We have a lot of wonderful memories of Aunt Kay and Uncle Chub. The whole family of our parents and our generation is getting fewer and fewer and one day we will join them hopefully in the hands of God. At this time we can only enjoy the found memories we had with them. May Aunt Kay and all the family members who have passed rest in peace. Henry & Betty Fullick

We are late with this entry because we attended Betty's brother's funeral in Spooner Wisconsin who died the same day as Aunt Kay.
We were very saddened when we received the notice from Mary Kay. We have found memories of Aunt Kay, Uncle Chub and all you kids when we would visit at each others houses. We had such great fun. Aunt Kay ment a great deal to us.
It's hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you were a special part of such well lived lives. You may find comfort in your memories. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
With great love,
Henry & Betty Fullick

My Grandma Murawski always called me "my little Tracey" right up until the time came when she simply couldn't remember me at all. Until my Grandma's memory was taken by time, she never, ever, ever forgot to send "a little mad money" in a well chosen card on EVERY holiday possible. Especially birthdays. As far back as I can remember, I've always thought my Grandma had the most beautiful and soft hands. When I would tell her what I thought, she would wave her hand in the air and say humbly, "Oh no, they're just old hands". My Grandma possessed a timeless quality of sincere and practiced modesty. I continue to respect and smile remembering the way she used to blush when my Grandpa would lovingly pull her onto his lap and cuddle her, making her say, "Not in front of the kids chub." My Grandma loved and worried about all her family. It is such a great shame that my own kids will only hear my stories instead of making their own memories with such a great lady. She missed Grandpa so much after he left that she never was the same. Maybe now they can cuddle all they want since the kids aren't watching. I love you, Grandma.

Mom you were the best mother any kid could ever ask for! Always giving NEVER asking from your kids in return. You will be greatly missed. I hope you and dad are together, sitting at a table playing a penny ante game of poker! I love you and miss you deeply.

"May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back, May the sunshine warm upon your face, And the rains fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand."

Mama Murawski, all my memories of you and Papa are of 2 loving and protective people who took 2 goofy boys from Texas and made us feel Loved and welcomed ! ! I only pray that I can be as good a grandpa to mine, as you were to us. Heaven has just become a better place now that you and Papa are together again

All the memories I have of Aunt Kay and Uncle Chubby were of generosity and kindness. I remember the smiles on their faces and the yummy cookies Aunt Kay made us (sending Uncle Chubby to walk to the local market to buy a package). I'm sorry to hear about your loss and will keep you all in prayer.
