I know many of you are aware of this, but I thought it would be appropriate to send out this information through email.

We received word that Nicolas Remfrey, 17-month old grandson of Dwayne (retired Holmes JH band teacher) and Rachel Johnson (Cedar Falls music teacher and accompanist for many of our soloists) suffered a stroke and passed away last Saturday.  I'm sure the Johnsons and the Remfreys would appreciate knowing that they are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of tragedy.  

A memorial service for Nicolas will be held today (Tuesday, April 28th) at the Northlake Unitarian Church in Kirkland, Washington, starting at 4:00 PM. 

In lieu of flowers, the Nicolas Remfrey Memorial Scholarship at Luther College has been established.  Contributions can be sent to
