What a lovely addition you made to our parents' memorial! We are so thankful. At the lunch and gathering afterwards, I heard so many people comment how beautiful and poignant your performance was! Very few knew that I arranged it, so those comments were definitely spontaneous, heartfelt, and not spoken to encourage me for arranging it! My sister and brother cried when they heard you both play. Please convey my appreciation also to your lovely daughter. Your playing gave all of us a treasured memory and a feeling of deep honor for my sweet parents.
