February 4, 2022The EC Key Club members are volunteering their time and talents in the community. This past Monday, at O'Neill's Healthcare in North Ridgeville a certain Elyria Catholic Panther, Mark Dyson '24, shared his amazing gift by playing the piano for the residents. Mrs. Angie Finicle, club moderator, shared a beautiful letter she received from a grateful family member...
Dear Ms. Finicle,
Yesterday, while visiting my Mom a young man from Elyria Catholic entered the Memory Unit Activities room and played the piano. The greatest thing happened next...- A resident was crying and the nurse was trying to console her. When the piano music reached her, she stopped crying.
- My mother was asking me (for the hundredth time) how my deceased grandmother was when the music began, she stopped asking.
- Another resident just finished dinner and sat mesmerized by the music.
- One resident who doesn't like to leave her room, joined the others in the activity room.
- Another tapped her feet to the music.
- The music could be heard down the hall and those in their rooms were able to hear it.
- The nurses and aides, angels here on earth, had it a little bit easier because the residents were calmer!
God Bless!
A Grateful Daughter
Incidentally, Mark, also shares his gifts at EC as many of us hear him practicing during his free time in the music room. It is always a treat and it always makes us smile. Thank you, Mark, for sharing your talents and Prowling with Pride.
