To you My Auntie,
Music was your gift from our God that
you shared with all. We as a family had
the pleasure singing with you as you played
the piano. For during those days the spirit
of joy in our hearts from our God was
through you. I will miss you so, Auntie.
So now, whenever I hear these musical notes
from Heaven,"Do Re Mi" I will always know
someone is being touch by you.
You are now at Peace.
God Bless!
