"You played beautifully in my room while I was recovering from a brain hemorrhage/stroke. I am presently listening to the lovely CD you gave me, and I find it so enriching and calming. I want to thank you again for your playing and for your generosity in gifting me the CD. I have recovered remarkably well and am back home. Blessings be yours."
