Thanks, Swan Songs. What a wonderful service you
and your talented musicians bring to those in need.
When someone is in the transition process, the hearing
is the last sense to go. What peacefulness and comfort
you bring to those who are beginning their everlasting
voyage and to their loved ones who watch them sail
away.

Thank
you, Swan Songs, for giving my dying mother a true
gift. The pleasant and professional musician showed up
with his guitar, sat at the foot of her bed and
serenaded Mom with her favorite country classics for
almost an hour. The photographer captured magic moments
of the joy radiating from Mom’s face. The planner
prepared thoroughly and attended to insure that all went
well. It did; far beyond our expectations. These days
Mom doesn’t remember when I visit. The morning after
the concert she awoke humming and asking for ‘Cowboy
George.’ Thank you for stimulating old memories and
creating new ones of her favorite music. Thank you for
honoring her well.

I
realize that a “typed” note may be seen as impersonal
and many times seen simply as being rude. Please
understand that I type this more out of necessity than
being impolite with my Thank You card. My hands simply
don’t have the stamina to write at length. Typing may be
slow, but much more legible than I could ever convey in
handwritten notes…read

My mom passed away yesterday morning. I wanted to thank you for the
lovely service that you are providing to those at the
end of their life.
My brother passed away June 7, 2010 after being
diagnosed with a very aggressive form of brain cancer in
2008. He lived a giving and generous life with his wife
of 40 years. The last two years of his life, he
exemplified how to face death full of love, faith and
grace. Even with such a dire prognosis, he would sleep
well at night because “it was in God’s hands” - and he
truly meant it!
As a supporter of Swan Songs over the years, I requested
an end of life concert at his home with family and close
friends…how fortunate we were that Chris Gage and
Christine Albert were in town and able to play on
Friday, June 4th. With their beautiful music, a
beautiful life was celebrated with laughter, tears and
prayers - a blessing for all of us. On Monday, June
7th, he died peacefully in his home. The Swan Songs
concert is a memory we all hold close to our hearts.
