Description

A translation of the Lithuanian text is as follows: Sounds and bells, bells ringing, Sad and painful spreading rumor: The grave of the victim was betrayed again. Where life is found, death is wasted. We all know that, we are surprised, we are all experienced, but this time, we do not have to force such a blow, get used to the idea that this living, agile, talking, working, posing for us. We suddenly lost John. We lost not for a day, not a year, but forever. There was silence. and, as it is rumored to lose such faith ... Lithuania will die It seems we have lost our right hand. Dear priest Jonas: Witness to you, your parishioners, witness to your dear brothers, vow to you, always dear Vycia. We will long remember the days when we had the good fortune to work with you. For centuries, the Lithuanian nation has been your patriotic sacrifice among the American youth to whom you have given so much inspiration. Good and golden letters will describe your exemplary love of the Lithuanian language, which you have used with pride and Lithuanian stubbornness and for which you have found a place in your church, in all your activities and in your heart in the Lithuanian heart. Your immortal spirit may lead us to stay in the tax to increase our efforts to stay Lithuanian and test your unfinished work. God forbid that your hot, Lithuanian spirit should let us warm us for the rest of our days. And in this painful hour, with love and deep weeping, we pray to the Most High to give his dead servant eternal peace.
