Mrs. Bonczek and our grandmother were roommates for a number of years at Matulaitis. It was always very enjoyable to visit with her while we were visiting Viviane. We will always remember her. May she rest in peace.

Our deepest sympathy and condolences on the loss of this wonderful lady who was not only a neighbor in North Grosvenordale while we grew up but a neighbor to my Mom & Dad at Matulaitus Nursing Home where they spent their final few years of life. May she rest in peace for eternity with God and may God bless all of the Family and provide comfort through the remembrance of Theresa’s long life.
