Kevin & Chris: I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a beautiful woman who shared her talent with us and taught us how to be a much better choir. We performed many choral pieces we never thought we would be able to perform. She always knew the best way to work with your Dad. She and her talent will always be missed.
