Mrs. Kulhanek was one of the nicest people I've ever known, and I was very sad to hear of her passing. I remember that if any of us (John's friends) happened to stop by the Kulhaneks' place to visit John on a Saturday morning, his Mom would insist that we stay for breakfast. That was the kind of person she was, and that is how she will be remembered. She is in a better place now.

Birdie was my very special friend.  We met when our husbands were stationed at Ranger station in St. Regis, Montana.  Our children were small and we lived there for about seven years.  We have always kept in touch.
Birdie was such a caring and loving person, always there to help anyone she could, I will miss her very much, but know she is in a better place where there will be no more pain and suffering.

Mary and family,

Birdie was a wonderful soul.  I am honored to have known her and have very fond memories of her.  Spending time with her was always a "joy."  She made her daughter you and I feel like all our "comical recordings, etc. were really important...she alwasys encouraged us to create and  was great fun!! Her positive spirit was truly a gift that she shared with all!!  I am certain Birdie is in the arms of her guardian angels and now watching over her family and dear friends.  All my love to you - Julie

I was told about your loss from my cousin (and our classmate) Jackie Brockway.  Wanted to send my condolences to you and your family and hope that things are sorting themselves out.  Hoping that you and yours are doing well and that we can talk in the future.

MARY AND FAMILY,
YESTERDAY WAS MOTHER'S DAY AND I THOUGHT OF YOU OFTEN DURING THE DAY.  A FEW YEARS AGO MY MOTHER PASSED ON AND JUST SHORTLY AFTER MOTHER'S DAY. YOUR MOTHER OFTEN TALKED ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL YOU WERE TO HER.  YOU HAVE TO BE THANKFUL THAT YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GAVE BACK THE LOVE SHE GAVE YOU.  SHE LOVED YOU SO MUCH. SHE WILL BE MISSED AND WAS ALWAYS A JOY TO TALK WITH, HER CHILDREN WERE WITH HER THOUGHTS OFTEN. SHE THOUGHT YOU DID TO MUCH FOR HER AND WAS THANKFUL FOR ALL YOU DID.
GOD BLESS YOU, YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON.  THANK YOU FOR COMING INTO SHOPKO AND TALKING WITH ME.
MARILYN
