Dear Caporale Family,

Mary Ann was one the sweetest parents at Mt. Greenwood School. Lou was a student of mine and she used to dote on him!!! Chicago will miss her sense of humor and her infectious smile! Blessings to the entire family.

Dear Caporale Family,

I was truly saddened to hear of the loss of your wife and mom. I was immediately taken back to the many good times our kids spent together (bowling, birthday parties, school gatherings etc.). Your home was always a gathering place for us. Just thinking about it now gives me a heavy heart. Although our lives went in different directions, thoughts of Mary Ann came to mind often. Whether driving by the area where we all first met---St. Bede's and St. Dennis---or just reminiscing with my kids about things they did when they were younger, her name and your names always came up. Please know that we are saddened by your loss but take comfort in knowing that she is now with God in Heaven.

Sincerely,

Kathy, Todd and Jill

Dear Caporale Family,
I was lucky to know your mom by way of Mt. Greenwood. We also got to spend a little time traveling to Florida to see her very dear friend a few years ago. She gave so much to our school and was a joy to know. We will miss her greatly.
