Pacific View Mortuary Newport Beach 5-26-2013

I rarely post funeral events on this site. Please see www.harp4funerals.com and www.harpforfunerals.blogspot.com for most of the services that I do. However, just thought I'd add this one in here because it was so lovely. This was the second service that I have done for this family within a very short time. It was my honor and privilege to be asked to play my harp for this family, again.  http://www.pacificview.us/dm20/en_US/group/business/pacificview/index.page
It was also Memorial Day weekend, so I added the  final photo to honor our fallen veterans.
