The Lord called you back home too soon, way too soon. What will happen to your Church? What will happen to your Polish Flock? I am sure the Angels led you into the open arms of Jesus and His Beloved Mother, the Black Madonna, Our Lady of Czestochowa for your Eternal Reward. Don't leave us orphaned. Guide us from above. Wieczny Odpoczynek racz mu dac Panie!!!
