With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Dr. Edwarda Buda, a remarkable medical doctor, mentor, and Polish-American patriot. She was a lifetime member, Director of the Board, and generous supporter of the Friends of John Paul II Foundation, President of the Polish American Health Association, and Director of the Board of the Polish American Congress, among other notable roles.  Her contributions to these organizations and her field of work will always be remembered. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her husband, Dr. Zbyszek Okreglak, Sister Bozenna Boda, and the family for their profound loss.
