Where do I begin OR end talking about Mrs.Cap!?
She was simply THE BEST at helping me through difficult moments with her husband as Coach at Heights! She was very sweet and kind to everyone she came into contact with!! She told me the real reason she didn't come to many games. " Because I yelled at the refs!" SO DID HER HUSBAND! THANKS AGAIN to the Cappelletti Family for sharing her with me all those years!God Bless You Guys!
