We all love Capi so much and will miss her every day. She was a fighter and an inspiration to all of us. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to get to know her. All of our love, Turtle & Crane Kay & Dawn Beck k.dawn@nstep.net We were sad to hear of the passing of your mother and grandmother. She was always so nice to us and she and Grandpa Whiting were such wonderful grandparents to Bob & Dara Kae and their family. I remember when the kids were little they would try to attend as many of their school functions as they could. That meant alot to both Bob & Dara Kae. I remember how bad they wanted to come home for Bob's wedding when they were on their mission. I am sure that she is so much happier to be where she is tonight with Grandpa and all of the other ones that she loves that have gone before. We do send our love to all of you. Sincerely, Kay & Dawn Beck
