What a beautifully written essay! (And I see the impact of a strong senior English teacher!) One of my many favorite songs these days is Rhett Walker's "Gospel Song."

Thank you, Maryann! Renae has always been a strong writer, but I’m so honored for my name to be attached with hers! I am adding this song to my Spotify queue… can’t wait to listen! 🥰

I agree one hundred percent with Renae’s enthusiasm for listening to Greta Van Fleet’s The Battle at Garden’s Gate. In particular, the lyrics to the song Broken Bells, “out of the silence we will sing, and even broken bells will ring,” have helped sustain me through these last few months of pandemic isolation. Their music transcends generations! I’d like to thank my daughter Renae for introducing me to this band, and for all she has done to bring joy to my life ( in good times and difficult times) simply because of who she is. I love you, Renae! ❤️-Mom
