“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
― Maya Angelou
When we were both very young and shared a room, we'd stay up late into the night, and Lauren would teach me how to blend our voices to hear and feel the way tones harmonize. I remember feeling for the first time what that does to your body and spirit. Weaving tones together for that effect changes you. It's an angelic sound. -- Kristen Hartnagel
Phyllis Wycliff dedicated herself to carrying out Lauren’s mission to capture this music to share with the world as Lauren’s legacy. She worked tirelessly to create every page of this book in a format that was technically perfect and would create the clearest, most complete version of each song chosen for inclusion.
It is with deep gratitude that Phyllis is recognized for her contribution to this songbook as well as her support and love for Lauren and all that she accomplished.
Thank you, Phyllis
