Clara LeCompte passed on this afternoon after several years of struggles with her health, including surviving breast cancer.
I think the parents of musicians should get extra credit as they await entrance into heaven for the miles and miles they drove to piano lessons and the money spent on sheet music and the yards of thread used to sew recital dresses and the hours spent sitting in an audience, waiting to clap proudly for their offspring.
Clara always treated me as if I were her own daughter. She was a very good mother, if the characteristics she instilled in her now-grown daughter are any measure. She was a good wife and was faithful to her Christian beliefs. She was a very thoughtful and generous person whose Christmas cards I looked forward to every year. She was devoted to her grandchildren.
My heart will be with Cheryl tonight and through the coming week as she makes the preparations and travels to Orlando for the services.
