I do not know your family, but I wanted you to know how sorry I am at the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother. She gave up her life to protect her students. I am sure there is a special place in heaven where she can rest in peace.

I worked with Ms. Kuczka at CVPA. I regularly pulled kids out of her class for ELL services. She never gave me trouble for that, even though it was an inconvenience for her, and in fact, she made it easy- she gave me her cell phone number so I could request kids be sent up to me and I didn´t have to hike the (many) stairs. She didn´t have to be kind or courteous to me, but she always was. I am so sorry to the whole Kuczka family and I hope her memory is a blessing to you as you move forward.

Mrs. Kuczka was my PE teacher at SHF in the 90´s. Loud voice, soft heart is how I remember her. She was never pushy but still somehow got us to do everything we were supposed to. Sending my love and condolences to all of her family and friends.
