It was someone else’s presence, she said, presumably the ghost of a young boy who’d fallen from a nearby tree and died years before. It was the first of several instances that Cappiello said awoke her ability to communicate with people who’ve passed on.

Longtime Ramsey Friends Team Up To Coach Running Program
RAMSEY, N.J. — Longtime friends and borough residents Jenn Burke and Sharon Bonanno are teaming up this fall to coach Heart and Sole, a national 12-week running program for adolescent girls. Sponsored by Girls on the Run, the program runs twice a week in Glen Rock, where both women are elementary school teachers.
