Music and service are the essence of this dynamic couple. Fitchfield Foundation solidifies their commitment of serving through music by providing the structure and resources that can improve the quality of life for the underserved in the artistic community. It will also enable them to expand their music services by deploying other local musicians for bereavement services so that families in need can have the ministry of music at their loved one’s funeral.

very difficult times”. The album is a great mix of traditional Christmas along with jazz,
gospel and pop arrangements.
