“Dear Kapetansky family. I meet your family when I came from Capital University to babysit. One of you liked my black shoes that tied with a ribbon and looked like tap shoes. Your mom and dad were 2 of the nicest people I had the pleasure of meeting. I hope fond memories shared with family help heal the loss. Much love, Candi Higgins Hendershot”
