Words From the Families We Serve

Oh my goodness. This is absolutely beautiful! I'm crying! Please, please tell Chris his kindness has touched me so deeply. I can literally hear the empathy in his voice. The fact that he took the time to do this... I just can't believe how blessed we are. I keep listening to this. Words could never express how deeply I feel his kindness. We are all so touched. Thank you for EVERYTHING!!

There are truly no words to express how grateful our family is to Chris Wu for the beautiful gift he gave to my mom, my sister, and me. Chris generously volunteered his time to come to the chapel at my mom's assisted living community and play his violin for her during the final days of her life. Knowing that Chris has played with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra made it even more extraordinary, but what touched us most was the reason he was there: simply to use his incredible gift to bring comfort, peace, and beauty to someone at the end of life. My mom was not awake while Chris played, but we believe she could still hear the beautiful music surrounding her. There was something incredibly peaceful and moving about watching him play for her and knowing that, even when she could no longer respond, music could still reach her in a way that words could not. Chris has felt called to share his music with people during this stage of life, and after experiencing it ourselves, I cannot imagine a more meaningful use of his extraordinary talent. What he provided wasn't a performance; it was an act of kindness, compassion, and love. Thank you, Chris, for sharing not only your remarkable talent, but also your heart.

Chris's friendship and music have been a part of my family's lives for years and when my husband was in the last hours of his life, completely unresponsive, Chris came and played his beautiful violin for him. When he finished playing and moved closer to Ron so he could hear his voice, Ron opened his eyes and reached out his arms towards Chris with love and happiness. It was such a deeply profound moment for us to be with our husband, Dad, and Poppy when this happened, and we were filled with joy to have experienced music at that moment. Ron passed away the next morning.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH CHRIS!! Thank you for thinking of me, and thank you for the beautiful Valentine's Day music, bringing special memories of my dear Priscilla. I know that she's rejoicing in Heaven right now, free of all her suffering and pain, but I do miss her dearly. Thank you once again for your thoughtfulness and support. "On Eagle's Wings" is so very appropriate! I believe that Jesus lifted her up from my arms at that hospital bed (as on eagle's wings) as He instantly transformed her into Heaven, just as we believe in His promise to us. I will cherish your beautiful Valentine's Day gift each time I replay it!

Dear Chris, Thank you for the kindness, comfort, and compassion you brought to my mother during her time in hospice. Your music provided peace during a very difficult chapter and created a moment of beauty and connection for both my brother and I that we will never forget. Knowing that my mother was the first person you played for through CW Music Corporation makes the experience even more meaningful. She would have been honored to be part of the beginning of something so special. We are grateful that your gift brought her comfort when it was needed most. Continue to share your talents and your heart with other families as they prepare to lose a loved one. Your generosity continues to be spoken of with our family and friends. I am sure that my mother couldn't wait to tell my father all about her bedside symphony concert!! May the Lord bless you and keep you. May His light continue to shine through your music. With sincere gratitude.
