Ed Rutkowski -

We have learned that Ed Rutkowski has passed away this morning (Dec 9, 2008). Ed was the life-long friend of Jan Karpinski who passed away last year. Ed and Jan survived the Nazi concentration camps together during WWII, and came to Memphis through the sponsorship of Sonny Foster of Germantown at the end of the war. It was here in Memphis, that Ed met and married his sweet wife Livija. Over the years, Ed and Livija were active in the Polish American Society and Polish Catholic Mission, and frequently attended the functions of these organizations.

Ed will be sorely missed by his devoted wife, children, granchildren and the many friends he made over the years.

"Rest in peace, Ed! You deserve it!"

Funeral arrangements are here.

 

Jacek Łukasz Kowal comes from Stalowa Wola, Poland, in the Podkarpacie Region. Here, he attended the "Mother of God, Queen of Poland" parish. After graduating from High School in Stalowa Wola, he entered the "Highest Theological Seminary" in Sandomierz.

After four years of study, he decided to continue his education in the US. For the past three years, he has been preparing for his future service as a priest at the SS. Cyril & Methodius Seminary at Orchard Lake, MI.

On Saturday, August 9th at 4 PM, at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Bartlett, TN. Jacek will be ordained by Bishop Terry Steib to the order of Deacon. We invite everyone to attend this special event.


Deepest sympathies of the community are extended to Mirek (Alex) Wozniak on the death of his Mother.
May she rest in peace.


Thank You!

Thank you very much for all the support and care you have given to myself and my family.

Thank you all for your help in organizing the goodbye for Chris.

Thank you for all your prayers and the condolences from our friends, acquaintances and those who did not know us well, but were with us at this difficult time.

Thank you very much and God Bless you all! Your solidarity with us gives us courage and we appreciate this very much.
