Music For Gene
Gene, a life-long musician, wished to hear the music he loves one final time.
Gene was a dedicated musician for many years, playing at his church and in his band: The Gospel Quartet. His wish was to hear the music he loved most, southern gospel, one last time. One of our amazing Wish Partners and local performing artist, Beverly Lincke, was overjoyed at the opportunity to perform for Gene and sang a medley of well-loved gospel hymns.
Beverly’s voice carried throughout the Inpatient Center, and a group of families gathered around once she started singing. Gene’s social worker, Darleen, said he would raise his eyebrows and squeeze her hand when Beverly sang a high note.
