Kapi was one of the sweetest people in HWH, and I will always cherish memories of her when we were neighbors. Rest In Peace, and prayers of strength and peace to her family.
I have so missed seeing Kappi since she has been home-bound. She was a little older then me and I always looked up to her because she was so beautiful, such a lady and when I did see her I always left feeling good because she always had something sweet to say to me.
Jerry, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Your mom was such a special person to all who knew her. Our families go back so far her mom worked at Dads store and I have so many fond memories. Jim & Diane Mayer
