Poor girl.
Lovely lady.
I didn't realize she was ill.

Matt must be beside himself. Geraldine and then Claire. Sigh.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Truly tragic. Heartfelt condolences to Matt and family.
I respect people's privilege to hold their beliefs, whatever those may be (within reason), but respect the beliefs themselves? You gotta be kidding!

Matt Molloy seems forever young to me; and for him to lose a grown daughter seems especially sad and somehow wrong, all too soon. Peace be upon him all his and her families.

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

I nearly lost my son last fall, but I can only imagine what he's going through having lost his daughter. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
