Naše izkrene in globoke sožalje Gospodu Viktorju ter celi družini.

What I remember most about Teta Francka is her beaming smile and laughter - always welcoming .. her sparkle - it was in her eyes, in her laughter, in her dance, in her bocce...it was there when she spoke of her family especially the grandkids, her strength, her competitiveness. I remember and miss her kindness -especially to my sister and to my mom, her support,her compassion, her warm hug whenever I would see her... - the way she made me feel... One of a kind. .. not to mention that we wil miss her cooking .. her potica, her goulash and polenta.

A blessing to know this angel.
