I received some sad news... My brother-in-law's mother passed away on Sunday morning, leaving him, his sister and their father. She will be missed by both her immedite and extended families.

I was also saddened by the news that a dear teacher had passed peacefully on Saturday. She was selfless in her dedication to a school that so much talent has originated from. The likes of Michael Burgess, Michael Colvin, Michael Schade, Matt Dusk, Kevin Hearn, The Four Lads, conductors, church organists, violinists, pianists, opera singers, choir directors and the Junior, Senior and Tenor and Bass choirs being associated with St. Michael's Cathedral providing the music programme. St. Michael's Choir has performed all over the world and for audiences of all types including the Pope and royalty.

Kathleen Mann has touched so many lives through her devotion that she will be sorely missed. I am so appreciative to have been taught by her both academically and through her involvement with the choral programme, as so many others have been as well. I credit who I am today because of her compassion, kindness, passion and her very nature.
