During the funeral mass, Father Tomasz Rusyn drew attention to the sudden nature of the deceased's death and reminded her of her involvement in aid operations.
Just a few days ago she was among us, walking, talking, saying hello, having her own plans. Maybe some activities or charity campaigns for people or animals, or maybe she already had a plan for another Noble Box - said the priest.
He emphasized that the deceased was a person who was always close to those who needed support. He called on those gathered in the temple to pray for the deceased and her loved ones.
The mayor of Sędziszów Małopolski, Bogusław Kmieć, also spoke during the ceremony. The local government official noted that the news of the resident's death touched the entire local community.
Today, our entire community of Sędziszów stands here as one big family to say goodbye to someone very close to us. This pain is the pain of all of us: family, friends, acquaintances and the entire local community, he said.
The mayor pointed to the deceased's many years of social activity, which involved both helping people and supporting an animal shelter. He appealed to residents to cherish the values that guided the deceased.
We cannot allow the good that you gave so generously to go away with your departure. We must cultivate what you have left us with the most precious value: the spirit of selfless help, faith in the goodness of other people and the belief that even the smallest gesture of kindness can change someone's life - emphasized the local government official.

On Saturday, the funeral ceremony of 55-year-old Robert Kosidło took place in Kraśnik (Lublin Voivodeship). The president of the Association of Merchants Conducting Mobile Trade in the Center of Krakow, Stanisława Gzyl, said that he was an "honest, calm man".
According to the entrepreneurs, Mr. Robert had a serious accident in Italy 20 years ago, after which he never fully recovered - he limped. After the accident, he moved to Krakow and lived in Nowa Huta. Almost every day he appeared at the Main Square and helped the local merchants set up their stands, bring goods, unpack and prepare their trading places.
Last Saturday, as always, he came to help close the stands. Due to the low temperature, the merchants wanted to finish the work faster. Then shots rang out.
We returned to the cart with souvenirs, people were already running to the shops - Adam Szyfko, one of the local merchants, reported to "Dziennik Polski". I told Robert that we were going to the ZARA store. He followed me, but slower. He was already in the door when the shot was fired... He fell on the mat in front of the entrance. A few more seconds and he could have saved himself, he added.
Merchants, entrepreneurs from the Cloth Hall and flower girls from the Market Square said goodbye to Robert.
