Dear Sophie and Bonnie,
I am so sorry for your loss, but now she can cook some kielbasa for mom and dad in heaven because I'm sure they are all there! I just can't imagine living 104 years, my goodness, all the wonderful times she experienced here! I will always remember the way Bonnie and I used to play on her docks and her kitchen, full of home cooking so many years ago. I'll cherish those memories always. I just spent the last 2 weeks going through old photos from mom, and believe me, you are family. I have photo after photo of the boat yard and when I say that, I mean the loving people of Stanley's Boat Yard year after year. Please give my love to everyone, I miss you all. Jackie

During our junior year of college, my friend Bill Chew and I lived on a boat at the end what was then the gas dock at Stanley's Boat Yard. Mrs. Ginalski occassionally brought kielbasa and homemade soup down to the boat for us. These were always delicious especially compared to our own "cooking". I will always remember how nice it was of her to think of us. I am sorry to learn of her passing and your loss.
