I remember the day we met at Church. We were having a job fair. Each activity in the Church had set up a table in the fellowship hall showing what they do and inviting people to join. I had set up the music table and had been trying to persuade people to join. I especially worked on some Roberts students who attend church and are music majors, but they declined, professing that their dance cards were already too full.
Then this quiet girl very softly said, "I'll sign up." That's nice. Its alright if you can't. Wait - what? You actually want to join choir? Yeah!!! And she gave me her contact information. That was three years ago, and she has been singing faithfully with us ever since.
What a joy to work with her. She also plays flute wonderfully, and I gladly added the instrumental component to our music as often as I could. She was a very enthusiastic supporter who was constantly encouraging others to join and often advertised our music endeavors on campus among other musicians.
Now she is leaving us to pursue academic plans elsewhere. We will miss her smiling face, her enthusiasm, her clear soprano, her joy. But we wish her well and hope her path may bring her back to us at some point. She will be the best music teacher ever. I am thankful that we had the opportunity to work with her, even though for a short time.
