Her mom and dad and my mom an dad(Evelyn and Walter Macik) were good friends and my 3 sisters and I would often visit with the Kappas family. so many fond memories . May the Lord guide you all through this difficult time. Eternal rest grant unto her oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her Amen
