Mrs. McCandless was my first piano teacher. She was so patient and kind. I looked forward to my weekly lessons. Every child should have such a teacher. She definitely had and was a gift. - Posted by: Janelle Rogers (piano student) on: May 21, 2014

Lou was my first organ teacher in the 60s and she was such a gentle and wonderful woman to learn from. I have nothing but fond memories of her, Warren and the boys. My sincerest condolences to the family. Allow yourself to grieve a while and allow fond memories to soothe your grief over time. - Posted by: Ken LIttle (Music Student) on: May 21, 2014
