Our deepest sympathy to the Kaminski’s, Downing’s & the Nailer Boosters in the loss of Blanche. She was a sweetheart, a hard worker very dedicated to her family, friends and the Nailer’s. She was so proud the night of her Randy Stephens Jr Booster award and we were honored to present it to her, because she truly deserved it! Randy Jr was blessed to have her granddaughter Danielle as one of his best friends. Randy Sr has told many stories over the years of his fond memories with his friend Ronnie and the Kaminski family. We have been blessed to have many of her family in our lives today. She left a piece of herself here, because they are all loving kind people who mean the world to us.
We will miss her and that 50/50 table will never be the same! Love & prayers to all of you!

Steve, Mark and Kathi our deepest condolences to you and your family. I have so many memories of Mrs K. She was an enormous part of my childhood. I’m so saddened by this. May She rest in the Heavens with Ronnie and watch over her three children. The Island has lost a true warrior. I love you always ❤❤❤
