Today, I opened a new CD 'Brought to Light' by Paul Harvey Jr.  As I listened to the introduction and the first piece he played by Robert Schumann, a flood of memories came back of my piano lesson days with Joyce.  They were wonderful years of always trying to earn a gold star!

The favorite part of my lessons was listening to Joyce play the first part of several pieces of sheet music for me to choose from.  All those pieces were saved through the years for our three daughters and now grandchildren to pick from as pieces to learn.  Our son played the drums with a couple of pieces.  Yes, his drums were set up next to our heirloom grand piano in our livingroom.  

I kept in touch with Joyce through all the years at Christmas time.  It is so nice to view the picture gallery and put pictures to the news she would send.

She is missed, but will never be forgotten as I see the touch of her talents shine through in our family when each one plays the piano!

Always,
