Connie and family, I wanted you to know how sorry I was to hear about your Mom. I remember as a child how she played the piano at New Hope with such a sweet touch. To this day, I try to play like she did. She always had a smile on her face. Love you and yours and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
