Dear L. J. Like you and so many of us we are still in shock over your Mom's passing...She was a lovely lady and what a great Role Model she was for you and for many of us..I was blessed to have sung in the SOV choir with her for years..In fact I started during the Norman Summer era before you were born! I remember your 1st choir rehearsal at only 1 week old! One of my favorite SOV memories is your 1st Christmas Eve..Your Mom stashed you in your carrier under the harpsichord!!!!!! You slept thru the 9pm service without a peep or a sitr!!!!!!! When it came time to sing Silent Night there wasn't a dry eye in the choir loft..Even Norman Summer shed a few tears at the beautiful baby asleep under the harpsichord!!!! Your Mom cried when you grew out of that carrier you were so portable in that thing!!!! When we did the 2nd Sound of Music, I remember your Mom's flawless performance of Climb Every Mountain at our last dress rehearsal...We were all choked up & Dr. Francis lept up on stage to give your Mom a hug & and a kiss on the cheek!!!

Your mom was an inspiration to us all. The Festival choir will surely miss her. She kept us all on track. I could always go to Cristy whenever I needed advise on any of our dogs. She was very devoted to SOV,choir and bells. She had a beautiful voice. My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
