“At the first chord of an old hymn, the music took Joann back and grounded her in the present simultaneously. The only thing better than being in the arms of her family was to be in the arms of Jesus, and the music reminded her how blessed she was. Nothing was as glorious as being with loved ones, celebrating God’s goodness in the company of believers.” — Donna Jo Stone
