Funerals

I just wanted to reach out to you to say thank you for today. It meant so much to Vicki and I that you blessed us with your playing. Your choice of music, thinking about the kids and what mom might have sang to them showed that you really thought about your choices and that meant a lot to us. Your offer to come by when you are at Arlington and play a little for mom touched our hearts and was so special. Please know that we are happy to be listed as a reference for you if you’d like, you made today a very special day for us and helped us fulfill mom’s wish after twenty years.

I want to thank you so much for playing at my husband's memorial service. It was very special. We had recently heard/seen a bagpiper playing Amazing Grace in Jerash, Jordan where we were visiting the Holy Land. [My husband] was born and raised in England and enjoyed the bagpipes so it was very fitting for his service.

Winter, I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful ways in which you contributed to my father-in-law's funeral service. Your soulful piping touched hearts deeply. Your addition of the smaller pipes was wonderful, and your playing of Amazing Grace and Going Home was — well, beyond words.

We were very touched to learn that your final song was a Welsh lullaby; Thank you so much for that special touch. It sounds as if you may have occasion to return to Dalton in the future, as both the minister and the funeral home director were quite impressed as well. I'm just glad that my internet search brought me to you.
