Refuge lost another member of our choir family, our dear friend Martha.

Martha never sang with Refuge, but she was the most supportive friend to the choir that ever could be. In recognition of her support and considerate feedback about Refuge music Martha was designated a founding member of Refuge Quality Assurance Department. She was loved by all - not just Refuge - for her genuine warmth and kindness. Heaven has gained a very special soul.

At Mass on June 30 Refuge choir remembered our dear friend Annie, our first time together in music ministry since Annie passed away earlier this month. We were honored to have Annie's mother and in-laws in attendance. Our friend Sarah from Guitar & Ensemble Institute joined us. Before Mass Sal sang his "Annie’s Hallelujah." For responsorial psalm Sal cantored Steve Angrisano's setting of Psalm 63, "My Soul Is Thirsting" which was Annie's favorite and we sang for her wedding. After communion we sang Jaime Rickert's "We Remember Them" with Sal singing the verses, and for closing we rose the roof with Gerard Weber's setting of Psalm 117 "Go Out To All The World." It was Gerard who helped Annie learn to play "You Are My Sunshine" on guitar during Guitar & Ensemble Institute in 2011 so she could play it for her dad later that summer.

Early this morning Refuge lost our sister in music ministry. Annie was a friend to all and a work colleague to several of us.
Some of us knew her for 25 years, and collaborated with her in music ministry at Old Dominion University Catholic Campus Ministry before she helped found Refuge. We shared a LOT of musical joy with Annie. Our prayer is that she now rests in peace and comfort in the loving arms of God.

Last week Refuge lost our new friend Gerry. Though he only sang with the choir a short time, he touched our hearts with his smile and gentle grace. He seemed to truly love the fellowship and friendships he found in Refuge. Thank you, Michael Walker, for the tribute you posted for Gerry.
