Steve so blessed to hear your story and in a very tiny way to be a part of it. Always enjoyed getting together with your mom while you little kids were playing together and tackling some wonderful piano duets with her. So blessed for that privilege. Wonderful to hear how Nori was a big part of your CD ministry. Enjoyed times also when we spent times as families visiting with each other. May God continue to bless you. Also understand you know our special friend, Pierre.
