Diana and Jenny, so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. I have many fond memories of the four years that I took piano lessons in your home. Playing duets with your mother in recitals was always very special for me. She was always very kind to
me and I will remember her fondly.

I am very sorry for your loss. Mrs. Beane meant much to my family. She taught all three of our children on the piano. She was so kind to us. We would visit her occassionally at the nursing home in Eden. We tried to visit her in the Hospice Unit this past Sunday, but was unable to find the facility. I had plans to try again when I got word that she had passed. My wife and I could not be at the funeral because of a special service scheduled at our church at the time of the funeral. We were very sorry that we could not be there to show our respect. God bless you all.
