Sister Marjorie Delaplane was my piano teacher giving me private lessons from the age of nine years old until 14. She was loving, passionate and I adored her. I loved going to her studio in South Shore and remember climbing steps to view her huge asparagus fern at the height of the steps before entering her living room. Within the living room was a grand piano, harp and harpsichord. She had a beautiful cactus with tear shaped leaves and red blooms. I love playing the piano unto this day and can still feel the warmth of her hug and love. Sister Marjorie introduced me to other fine teachers I was to study with after my study with her, Mr. Edward Mondello, and Mrs. Mary Sorenson. I will forever hold memories of attending Concerts at Orchestra Hall to hear Andre Watts perform and much, much love. Many thanks to the family, teachers, church members, community and friends who provided that nature and nurture that fostered the growth of this Angel I experienced unawares. Blessings, love, grace, peace and favor unto you always.
