Florence Kontek was truly the matriarch of a great family. Bruno and her are back together and based on experience, there will be some great parties in heaven from here on out. Especially on New Year's Eve… God bless the entire Kontek Family…

To The Kontek Family: Your Mom was a very special lady. I always enjoyed her company at our TSP Polish Club meetings, and listening to all her weekly activities and wondered "Dear Lord" doesn't she ever get tired. She always had a kind word to say. Her many organizations will miss her deeply - especially the bingo players. R.I.P. Florence
