To the Family of Margaret Beatty,You probably don't remember me. I was once married to Roger Garofalo. I am saddened to hear of the passing of your mother. She was a favorite Aunt of mine. I will remember her not only because of the person she was, but her gift of making beautiful, delicious cakes. May God comfort you.Carol Friend

Dear Scott, Cindy, Judy, Nancy, and Mary: So sorry to lose Aunt Marge, she was always so caring and ready to give of herself. Her smile was the light of the room and her warm heart brought love to all of those around her. Our prayers will always be with her. In her memory, we are contributing to the fine work of the Kenosha Humane Society. We hope that our gift will carry on in some small way her efforts to comfort and better the lives of all of God's creatures. We love all of you.

Dear family, I'm deeply sorry for the loss of such a sweet, caring person. She was a warm person who only saw people for their good qualities. I was very sad at first when I learned of her passing yet I know she is in a far more beautiful place today. I'm very honored to have known her and proud that my son Tony is fortified with a special ingredient in his genes that only his Great Grandma Beatty could have gave him.
