Rest in peace my friend. Your kindness made a mark on me. Your comraderie will be missed in the choir and specifically standing next to me. Though your voice is now silent, the echo of your spirit lives on in all of us. You were always quick to share readings with me, share VocalZone lozenge which you knew I thought were awful, but you never stopped offering! Your care and concern for Steve and energy for putting more on your plate were admirable and moving. Your obituary is beautiful and reflects your rich accomplished life. I'm heartbroken that I can't attend your service but I'm with everyone in spirit. Loved you friend
