My Gentle Harp, Renaissance Hotel St. Augustine, RTI Donor Services, St. Augustine Harpist

This event was so special to be a part of! RTI Donor Services is a non profit, accredited tissue bank, working with donor and donor recipient families. Each year they put on a beautiful time of remembering loved ones for the donor families, and I was invited to play harp music during the event.

The first half was an open house, before a program where each family was called by name to light a candle and say a few words about their loved one. Pictured here is the table of candles, as well as several memorial quilts with the names and photos of some of the donors.

I was honored to play music for these families who have lost so much, but at the same time blessed another family in an indescribable way.

My Gentle Harp, St. Augustine Harpist

I was invited back for a second time to play at the Castellina Model in the beautiful Palencia community of St. Augustine! The home is gorgeous, with eye catching art work and design features, and live music sounded great in the entry way (if I do say so myself!) 😉
