Not sure what to say?

mier stawia nas w obliczu bezsilnoci, która nas obezwadnia i zabiera w nieznane. A kiedy pojawia si kradnc znan osob, przeszywa serce bólem i odznacza w nim swoje pitno, które przypomina nam stale jacy jestemy wobec niej bezsilni.

Zasmucia nas wiadomo o mierci naszego byego proboszcza Parafii w. Anny w aem, woj. kujawsko-pomorskie, POLSKA.

Pozostay nam bardzo mie wspomnienia z czasów pracy ksidza w naszej parafii. Wspomnienia te zostan na zawsze w naszych sercach.

Life is the greatest gift that God has given us and death is only a bridge towards eternal life with God.

Certainly, heaven is rejoicing for another soul has finally reached his true home.

Our Deepest Condolences from families Kielkowski and Pietrkiewicz, Zale, Poland.

Father Lipka came to Bronson Nicu after he was born 5 weeks premature to Baptize my son Janek Przybocki on Mother's Day 2009. We were told that he was not going to make it through the night. Father Lipka was late for mass that day, he put our son first. Immediately after his baptism Janek started getting stronger and better. That was almost 9 years ago. Today he is a sweet, kind, loving and healthy boy. Father Lipka will be greatly missed. All of my kids will miss seeing him, but Janek will...

Fr. Lipka was a joy. Always cheerful. We loved hearing him say mass and his sermons. We were saddened to hear he had been battling cancer and when he was moved to Dowagiac. He will be sorely missed.

I had the honor of sharing meals with Father Lipka for several months at a local seniors' residence. He represented the church teachings, as one would expect; when he turned to other matters he was full of kindness, humor, and understanding. Parishioners of St. Monica's have had a great loss.

Death puts us in the face of helplessness, which overpowers us and takes us into the unknown. And when he appears stealing a known person, he pierces his heart with pain and marks in him his mark, which reminds us of how we are always helpless to her.

We were saddened by the news about the death of our former parish priest Anna in a, province wocawskie, POLAND! We have very nice memories of the priest's work in our parish. These memories will be forever in our hearts.

Dear Uncle Wiesaw,
Once you said When I pass away I know I'll see my three brothers again, including your dad.
I truly believe that you are together. I will always remember the rare moments we had together and I wish I could spend more time with you.
In particular, I remember the day you presided over my wedding.
I will never forget you.
Your niece with family.
