Sarah is in the sixth grade and this is her fourth year playing the viola. Interesting how popular it is here. In the middle school 6th grade orchestra (not the whole middle school) there are two violas. Sarah and another guy.

Dear Connie,

I'm sorry for all the losses you've encountered this weekend. It is very sad.

We received some bad news this weekend too. Yesterday morning, while I was brushing my teeth, my cell rang. DH answered it & gave it to me. Around a mouthful of toothpaste, I mumbled "Hello?". It was my 75-year-old Aunt Kas (my deceased stepdad's sister in California). Their cousin May (who I was *very* close to as a child, and then became close with again after Alicia was born) had been found dead in her bathroom last Saturday (a week ago) by a parent of one of her music students (she taught violin & viola ~ it was May who helped nourish my own love for the viola). It sounds like she'd been there a *minimum* of two days, but they don't know how long. It sounds like a massive heart attack. May was only in her 50s. I am devastated. She gave Alicia a viola last Christmas, and now I have a renewed effort to somehow get her music lessons after the first of the year.

Peggy,

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry. How terrible for you and your family. It will be great if Alicia can carry on that spark by playing viola. Ari just started playing, had his first recital today. I loved listening to the more advanced viola students - that instrument has such a gorgeous sound.

-Jennifer
