To the Gangolf - Kuzma Family,
My father was a cousin to Helen, Rita, Elizabeth & Albert. (Clarence Bellert)
I and my sibling have many fond memories of your entire family.
Going way back to Sunday dinner's at your grandparents/great grandparents home.
Grandma was a great cook. Loved her home-made noodles.
Grandpa was a great story teller.
Both my parents are deceased also.
My mother always talked about the fact - That your grandmother was the only one to give them a wedding present.
My father had been in the Navy. My parent's married in Connecticut and then came to live in Chicago.
When we lived in Norridge I would visit Helen frequently at Saint Monica's.
Another wonderful cook. All your deceased family members were always very gracious to all of us.
I had tried a few years back to make contact with Rita and Liz when I was moving.
There was no forwarding information in regard to them when I called and I was unable to find (As Helen called him) Joey online any where.
I wish to express my condolences on behalf of my family.
I know the sorry is deep ! God Bless You & God Bless Them !
My prayers are with you and yours, Andrea Bellert Kneifel

Rita was great leader as secreatary in our business for her career. She was ,loyal, capable and caring for I think over 40 years. What an asset to the business and friend to all of her colleagues ! She watched me grow up as with my brother and cousins and she was a warm and loving person to us.Great Cubs fan. I always will remember her as an integral part of the business , but also a mainstay in my life. Thank you, Rita.
