Well my favorite cousin Peggy (64) passed away a couple of days ago after a 2 month undiagnosed illness. Peggy had a gorgeous soprano voice. She sang Summertime at Andie's funeral. I told her afterward that I used to sing the same song to Andie when she was a baby. And she returned that she sang it to me when I was a baby. I wish I had been home for the funeral so I could close the circle on the tradition Peggy started.

As my kids did not grow up in my home town, Andie didn't get much opportunity to spend time with my extended family of singers. I am hoping that Andie's wonderful mezzo soprano is harmonising with Peggy's high bright voice now.
