Erin Mulkey and family - February 15, 2011 - Email
My lovely, beautiful, feminine, kind, faithful, loving Gramma. She is the sweetest person I knew, and always made me feel warm and loved. I always enjoyed her company, and her affectionate manor. She was such a good nurturer, and I hope she knew how much she meant to my sister and I through the years growing up.
Gramma and Papa Mulkey served as a bridge for my sister Chelsea and I to our family, and always went out of their way to make sure we were included. This pure love will resonate in my heart and soul, and her memory will be carried on in the stories I tell my family and children of Gramma Mulkey's creativity and kindness, her perfect comfort foods, and faith in the goodness the Lord intends in our lives.
I'll think of blue glass, and glamorous black hair, apple trees, Eastern Washington, church, love, small waists, stamps, books, flower baskets full of bleeding hearts, and most of all love when I remember my Gramma Mulkey. So much love to you!

Carol and I are unable to attend the memorial service due to commitments in Marysville and Everett. We wanted to share our prayers and thoughts with you all.
Red and Janice already lived on the Res when I moved to Marysville in 1970. They attended the First Baptist Church where I worked as youth pastor and eventually senior pastor. I had a natural kinship with them because they were volunteer staff on the Res for the North American Indian Mission (now the North American Indigenous Mission), and I had previously worked with some of the kids from the Res in camp on Thetis Island in BC. I also had a connection with them through their kids because I served as Steve, Jim, and Glen's youth pastor. Brenda was a child at that time. I made many trips to the Mulkey house in that capacity.
Janice I remember as a person who had a deep compassion for the native American people. I remember her for the twinkle in her eye when she spoke. And, I remember her going through deep waters of great pain over many experiences in her life. Janice was first and foremost a mother…deeply committed to her children.
Carol and I also remember Janice, in spite of all her painful experiences, as a person who was always ready to say a good word for others. We don't remember any critical words coming out of her mouth or unkind attitudes being expressed by her in any way. She was invariably positive about others, and that is a valuable quality we want to emulate in our lives.
David said it in Psalm 116:15-- PS 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Janice was special in life and special in her homegoing. We look forward to seeing that twinkle in her eyes there.

We have very good memories of Janice & Red. We appreciated their involvement in Child Evangelism Fellowship® of Snohomish County in the years Loy and I were directors of the ministry. Red, may the Lord continue to be your strength as we know He will. Bob & Loy Matheson, CEF Directors, retired.

The George & Virginia Carpenter family from Tulalip were very saddened about the passing of our wonderful friend Janice. We knew Red and Janice when they moved to Tulalip and our children grew up together. Our thoughts and prayers were always with this family, even when they moved. We were very good friends when our kids were growing up, Lou ann and Wheatie are both Senior Citizens now. But our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We share so many great memories and we are sorry we won't be able to attend the Memorial for such a wonderful lady and great friend. Also my sister Joy's husband passed about the same time and we have also had her husband Lacy's funeral this week. Our Love and prayers to the family.
God Bless
George and Virginia Carpenter, Tulalip
also, Wheatie and Lou Ann

Dear Buell and Family; I was sorry to hear about Janice passing away. My family will always remember her sweet generosity taking in 5 extra kids the summer my mother was not able to care for us. I don't know how she did it but I will never forget it. She was instrumental in helping learn about the Lord and that too is something that I will always be grateful for. I'm sorry for your loss but I share your joy in knowing she is with Steven and Jesus in heaven where there are no tears.

Red... I truly believe that Janice is having a wonderful reunion with Steven. I was honored that you made the trip to tell me at work and my heart breaks for you. But knowing that she suffers no more is a blessing, as you pointed out. Take care and be sure to stop in again...We all love Janice and miss her so much. Until later...

Stan & Brenda & family... I am so glad to have met Janice and know you are blessed to have had her in your lives. Or is it the other way around around...she was blessed to have had you in her life. Hugs to you all. Karen, Colleen & Walter
