I have many great memories of my Dear Mother in law Weronika. She loved to watch with  a curiosity of how things were done. Knowing this I invited her to come over and watch me make some Deer and Elk sausage. Watching of course wasn’t in her plans as I quickly made room on the butcher block set up in the garage. It was crisp autumn day and Charlie Danuta’s dog was guarding the premises and keeping the garage floor clean of scraps that might otherwise have gone down underneath the block. He loved his grandma and would never let anyone or thing harm her that day, “she had meat”…
Weronika grabbed up one of my knives and began to cut. She looked over my assortment of tools and asked what the stainless steel glove was for. I told her that it was for cutting meat, to be worn on the opposite hand so you won’t cut yourself. I asked her if she wanted to wear it and she laughed. She used her knife with strong hands. She possessed skill and precision with every stroke of the knife. Her many years of preparing meals for her family gave her muscle memory that only a veteran butcher would have. I saw there was no need for the safety glove. 
I told her we need fresh Garlic for the Polish Sausage. She made short work of 5 heads of garlic! She shows back up quickly with over a pound of garlic perfectly peeled. She said it was necessary for Polish sausage. She loved Garlic!  That day we spent about six hours making just over 80lbs. of sausage. , Polska, Linguica, and Bratwurst. I was overwhelmed to see her face light up with joy when Danuta prepared the sausages for us. She was very proud of the process and product we produced. These were the best sausages I had ever made and will never forget. She loved good food, and loved to cook for her family.  I’ll miss my dear little Mother In Law with all my heart.

Mother was an incredible woman, mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother with a heart full of love, strength, sacrifice, and guidance, who gave so much of herself, selflessly for her entire family.  There are not enough words to express the gratitude I feel for all she has done for our family.  I could not have asked for a better mother-in-law.  I felt a special bond with her and will miss her and love her forever.  I cherish the warmth of her smile and way she made me feel loved.  Her cooking was divine, and she had the most beautiful garden of flowers. She was a woman of faith in God, our Lord Jesus Christ and I am blessed and grateful for her presence in my life.  Thank you Mother.  I love you.

Forever in my memories with love,
Judy Gasior

To my mother in heaven, thank you for always loving me and guiding me. Even though you are no longer here with me I can still feel your love guiding me. You are always in my heart. I love you and miss you dearly. Your son,

Ted

Once a young girl taking cows out to pasture in the mornings. At times lying down in the field, looking up into the blue sky. Daydreaming as many young girls do.  Thoughts and dreams filled her mind of a different land, and a different place to be. How peaceful these mornings were. How she could imagine somewhere else, and what it might be like. 

She would not know at the time that this marriage would end up being the necessary union to get to a new land called AMERICA!
