I don’t feel like working today. A dear man and God “grand”father to my youngest son passed into the silence of peace yesterday. This is profound for this man. He was choir master of my church and held a PhD in music. Silence was the antithesis of him, the kindest of souls. He taught me about God’s gift of music, and how man is greater for it. I am certainly greater for knowing him. From learning from him. From the privelige of hearing his majestic baritone sing the praises and glories of our heavenly Father. He did so much more for me than just teach me to sing; he taught my soul to rejoice in music. He gave my voice wings.
Rest easy in the presence of the Lord, Lavan. The heavenly host of angels singing praises will sound richer with your voice.
Well written. As you write, mankind is far better because of the music in our lives. Music is the greatest of blessings. My heart and prayers are with you during this time of loss.
Beautiful. I will always remember him singong Oh Holy Night. To me, he is the only one who will ever be able to do this song justice. It hurts just knowing that he is not inthis world anymore, even thought I know he is in a better place. he was loved and he will be missed.
