With the wonderful goings-on at our 5th anniversary celebration, I failed to mention in greater detail Sounds of Peace, my nonprofit formed to share my music free of charge with the world (you can find the music on my website: www.kittycleveland.com ), also a sponsor of our event. Imagine my joy when this beautiful email landed in my inbox today:

~Kitty, I am a new Hospice volunteer and have been assigned my first patient, who is actively dying from a traumatic brain injury. He has no family and no religious affiliation. He is immobile and can’t speak or communicate, but he can hear. When I visited him for the first time, I took my iPad and pulled up Sounds of Peace on your website, beginning with the Divine Mercy Chaplet. I remembered the promise in Saint Faustina‘s diary about reciting it in the presence of the dying. The minute you and the children started singing, I had the most unexpected reaction… Tears started flowing, and I didn’t even know it. My patient was watching me, and he began to move his hands. I think he was moving along with the music. I ended up singing to him, along with you and the children. It was just a beautiful thing. Today, he is much worse--on oxygen and having difficulty breathing. I played your music again and also your Morning Glory rosary from YouTube. I don’t know if he will live till tomorrow, but I will be playing your chaplet and playing the Morning Glory rosary as long as I have him. Thank you for this beautiful way to provide soothing comfort to people who are dying alone. Lynne

May God be praised! Thank you for your beautiful ministry and faithfulness, Lynne. Amen.
