I have the most amazing mother. To truly appreciate her, you need to know Rene’e. But perhaps a brief description will have to suffice for now. She’s a woman of many talents and is an extraordinary musician. Mom grew up in a musically gifted family where she learned to beautifully sing, play the piano and violin. She was the ward choir director for decades in California and put together incredible church numbers as well as big Broadway and other cultural shows. Thankfully, she passed on that love of music to me and my sister and patiently taught us both how to play the piano.
