- In reflecting upon my life from a young girl, I remember always being encouraged to be a blessing to others… whether it was speaking or sharing my gifts of music or giving gifts to them!
- It was a blessing to say, Hello to visitors, to make their children feel welcome and to ask them to join me for our Children’s Ministries … which I taught for 34 years!
- My family and I also shared our musical talents wherever we went … and Dad was asked to sing at churches and relatives’ memorial services!
- Even to this day, I look for opportunities to bring a smile to someone and to share a word or a gift that will elevate their hearts!

- I enjoyed playing background piano music for the residents during meals and during my visits!
- I began the Sunday services at Grace Pointe with 3 residents and had the dining area with fulfilled residents and family members towards the end of the 1 1/2 years of service!
- I played the piano and shared the message!
- All of the songs and key points of the message were in print … so the residents could follow along with me!
- Afterwards, they could review the hymns and words shared within the privacy of their apartments!
- During that time, I also offered chair and table massage to the residents at a senior price!
- And I met a lady who appreciated my visits and conversation at the Greeley Place!
- As time progressed, I became her friend and her personal assistant for 2 1/2 years … enjoyed many treasured moments with her!
- From an early age, I became the granddaughter who learned and treasured my grandparents and supported them throughout their lives … even to their closing days and moments!
