I knew from listening to Athene prior to her engagement at our gathering, that she was the perfect choice. But experiencing her performance in person was even better than I had anticipated. A beautiful voice accompanied by a fabulous keyboardist and a most warm and friendly demeanor during a bittersweet celebration for a departed soul........I honestly could not have asked for more. This is a day we will all remember for a long time to come and Athene's musical contribution was simply divine.
