Dear Ms. Cleveland, I want to thank you for making my mother’s last hours more peaceful. She was a devout Catholic who volunteered at St. Joseph Abbey (both she and my father are buried there), where she purchased a copy of your Surrender CD. Mom was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer last October, a battle she lost in July. During her final hours with us, as she lay in a coma at the home we shared, my sister and I played your Surrender CD for her. Her breathing immediately became more peaceful, and I know she could see the glory you sang of. I’ve been meaning to thank you for making her last hours more peaceful for her, and as a result, for my sister and me. You have truly been blessed. Thank you for sharing your gift.
