On Friday morning, we all gathered to say goodbye to Anne Fowler (nee Sullivan), a dear mother, sister, aunt, friend, wife. She was my dear Aunt Anne, with a sparkling personality - literally: her eyes sparkled, her teeth when she laughed - she with the beautiful and powerful soprano, who seemed to have no shyness when it came to sharing her voice. She and her sisters, including my mother, are all musical: there are altos, sopranos, and those who can also go low, if necessary, to fill out the harmonizing. My grandfather, pictured here, played the violin, and our family would gather around the piano during family get-togethers. My cousin Nancy would usually play the piano, and the harmonies were overwhelming to me as a small child. Eventually, as my own voice got stronger, and I was more used to harmonizing, I could join in.
Thanks for your beautiful tribute to Mum, Sheila. What a special moment that was, singing The Parting Glass together. ❤️Nancy
Sheila, appreciate being able to follow your family, the highs, the lows. This is a sad day. I am glad you were there.
If I had my way, that's what social media would be too.
What a beautiful tribute. And the angels sing ♥️
So sorry for your loss, Sheila.
