The angels of heaven showed you the way home. Rest in peace Pan Franek! Bronka, Ted and Richard, our condolences go out to you and yours. Your Dad was a very lucky man to have had such a wonderful family to love and care for him the way you did. Take care of one another and may peace fill your hearts.

Wujek Franek, Our hearts are saddened by your passing. The only thing that has made me smile the last few days is the thought of Stefani running into your loving arms and showing you around heaven..."this is my grandpa". Until we meet again...love always.
