I
just wanted to thank you (and Ray Benson, the
photographer, and the rest of the people who may have
helped to make this concert possible!!) for the concert
that was provided recently. ______ is continuing to
decline and will be moving to her hometown with her
mother this weekend. Her boyfriend and mother expressed
profound appreciation for this experience. I saw the
pictures yesterday with the family—what a poignant
event.
My
sincerest gratitude…

Thanks you very much for arranging a very memorable
musical experience. A wonderful time was had by all! I
know that __’s enjoyment of that concert improved his
quality of life – even for that day or even moment. As
a social worker, that is what I strive for with our
patients, so thanks for helping me do that. I am
glad that Swan Songs exists in the hospice community.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Wilson

I
am a Registered Nurse with Vistacare Hospice. I had
never heard of Swan Songs before and I was looking for a
Bagpipe player for a patient of mine who used to play
for others himself, in his country of origin. He had
long stopped playing, as his illness will no longer
allow him to. He would show me the pieces of bagpipes
he had left in his possession, and he would light up
like a proud parent every time he would bring those out
to show me. I couldn't stop thinking about the look on
his face, were a bagpipe player show up at his door to
play.....just for him, and in his honor!
