Sorry my Mother can't make it there to visit. It is too hard for her to travel so far. My daughter was able to take her to see Mrs. Mikula the day before but couldn't ask her to drive that far again after work.
You have our deepest condolences my Mother really likes Mr. Poterek. Her name is Mrs. Kania

Richard Poterek was a respected member of the parish and a kind neighbor in the community. He always had a warm word to say or a joke to tell. I knew him from the mid-1970's when I came to St. Stan's as the parish priest and now pray that choirs of angels welcome him into paradise, where he will join his beloved wife.
