I was so saddened to read of Dana’s passing. We so enjoyed having them as neighbors and friends here
in Minot. I will always remember the wonderful desserts she made for my birthday. You are in my thoughts

Dear Dr. Capek, Hana and Dana
You touched our family so very much. We all remember mom running you down in the grocery store – or was it KMart – I remember listening eagerly to your story of your adventure to Canada. You all inspired me so very much. Dr. Capek when I came to Prague you and Dana welcomed me like family.
Sending you heartfelt love and peace so you can find some comfort during this time.
Love
Madonna
Hana & Tim, Dana, and family.
Please accept my condolences with the loss of your mother.
