I would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom.

Dear Mrs. Ranieri:
 
We would like to thank you for your endless contributions to the Bellingham Field Hockey Program. For six years your hard work and commitment have not gone unnoticed. You wore many hats, from organizing and coaching the summer and winter leagues tournaments to scheduling and manning the home game duties of the concession stand and ticket booth to fundraising activities, car washes and lottery calendars to planning the year end banquets and girls' gifts to graciously opening up your home for spaghetti dinners and to all the great pictures you have taken over the years!  We couldn't have done it without you. We admire your unending efforts to stay sane and we realize that it hasn't always been as easy as you make it seem!
 
Next year there will be a huge gap to fill. We are confident that new parents will pick up where you left off; however, your presence on the sidelines will be greatly missed. You have touched a lot of girls' hearts.   Your kindness and generosity will always be remembered.
 
Thanking you with love,
 
Coach Wernig, Coach Botelho and the girls
