Apple, you made a wonderful contribution here, you will be missed indeed. I pray that your heart and mind are at peace, and for the consolation of your loved ones. (I'll just add, since this was said so well, that somehow, somewhere, in a better, kinder world, sometime in the future, where we sincerely hope there will be pianos and music, that we will meet in person. In essence, Apple was one person on here I always felt that I knew and perhaps she knew me too.) David Burton's Blog http://dpbmss041010.blogspot.com/

I have always enjoyed Apple's posts, especially her accompanist stories. As so many others have said, she seemed like a friend, always caring and seeing humor in life. I feel blessed to have known her here in the forums.
