[Choir] Sad news--Heather Moz

[Maryann Ludlow]

It was such a shock to hear this!  I’m so glad I got to see her at the concert at church on Sunday. I feel honored that I got to talk to her one last time.

 And her deep wisdom too. Miles deep.

Heather was our Mamma Soul.

She bought us huge warmth, depth, creativity, brilliance, insight, a hint of Black culture and so much more to our choir and our church. I loved that deep tenor/baritone saxophone voice of hers. We formed a deep friendship but saw each other too little of late. She always smelled good, hugged like a champ, and bore her many sorrows in a way that was inspirational.

rest in peace, dearest lady.

I am struggling to write a response that truly represents how sad I feel.  Thank you Bill for your response, I too will miss her quiet unassuming kindness, her warm and embracing laughter, her lovely and soul reaching voice.  I too miss the idea of seeing her, hearing her, and singing along with her.  Heather was a treasure.
Love,
Diane

Thank you,
A deep loss.  Her kindness, her laughter, her lovely and soul reaching voice.  I missed her already (as I miss all of you) - I miss the idea of seeing her, hearing her, and most of all, singing along side of her.

Love,
-Bill

"There will be rest, and sure stars shining
     Over the roof-tops crowned with snow,
A reign of rest, serene forgetting,
     The music of stillness holy and low.

I will make this world of my devising
     Out of a dream in my lonely mind.
I shall find the crystal of peace, – above me
     Stars I shall find."

"There Will Be Rest”

This one is a real shocker. A few years ago she and I presented a program of spirituals at The Aldrich library for Martin Luther King Day. We really enjoyed preparing it and it was very well received.

Heather was always a treat to hear singing. She would sing with heart and soul - rendering ballads or jazz or blues.

Apparently it was quick last night and a friend was with her.  Her daughter, Melinda, will be taking some time to decide on plans for a Memorial.   Rev. Joan will be sending out a note to the congregation this afternoon, including information about reaching out to the family.

I saw her Sunday afternoon at the music event at the church --it was the first time she had been out of the house for a while, she said, and she asked if she could come to some choir rehearsals now that we have the elevator back.
