Mrs. Cap you were a very special person and there will always be a special place in my heart for you. My fondest memories are being with you and your family in Margate, NJ. You were like a second mother to me. When we would go fishing on John's boat I always looked forward to your sandwiches and I couldn't wait to open the cooler. You will surely be missed and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love,

I have many fond memories around the kitchen table at the Capetola's-especially during report card time! Rita's smile will always stay with me and that great giggle she had - her home with John had such a nice welcome feeling - great memories.
