Gone Too Soon (Music at Atria LG) – June 9th, 2025

Music at Atria (a precious community where my Dad, aka Grandpa Gene, lives!)

Gone Too Soon (Atria LG) – June 9th, 2025

We had a joyful time with our friends at Atria LG, doing heart-moving tribute songs from artists who are “Gone Too Soon” one last time! Tamera, Patricia, Shelly, Karen, with Paul on tech joined together bringing music and presence and heart to our friends (residents, staff, families) in the more intimate Atria LG neighborhood. We fondly remembered beloved artists and songs in a sweet acoustic set. What an awesome time! They loved it, and I think we feel somehow freer in that setting … Sonia’s enthusiastic rousing of the crowd helps 🙂 It was so moving to me to see my Dad and his beloved community (and a few visitors!) receive our gifts with such open hearts! Tamera noted, “I feel free there! They truly were so open and welcoming to us! Sonya is one ball of energy! Such a sweet time – lots of smiles.” Shelly commented, “Oh geez- I wanted to give a shout out to Tamera for the way she nailed – Wanna talk about me!” We are all so very grateful to be a part of the Atria LG family, such a precious community!
