Friends may come and friends may go, but there's always a place in our front row. There will always be a place on the risers for you. There will always be a place in our hearts for you too. --Bob Bates.

1994 - 2014
Have you ever met someone who you just instantly liked and knew that they would be a trusted friend and have a very special impact on your life?
Darlene MacPherson joined Elm City Echoes in 1994. She sang bass in the chorus and in a quartet called Yours Truly - and an octet called The 8th Notes. She loved picnics, Christmas, and regular practice on Monday nights, followed by coffee at Tim's with friends. Darlene loved life and all it had to offer. Her faith was the rock on which she stood, and the kindness that she showed to all made that faith evident to all who knew her. Darlene often spoke of her family and how important they were to her. Her presence in our lives will live on forever, and we are eternally grateful for the blessing of sharing precious ties with her.

Andy's passing leaves a hole which only time will mend! Andy joined the Elm City Echoes in the Fall of 2001 with six other new members and soon developed a love of barbershopping. Andy loved a good time and had many good friends in the chorus. She also enjoyed helping out at her church, where you would find her in soap suds up to her elbows in the kitchen, at the library where she volunteered for several years, and in the Red Hat group. Andy enjoyed 11 years of retirement and lived daily, enjoying life to the fullest. She loved singing, reading and working with children. Andy worked tirelessly as the chair of the Costume Committee. The chorus will be a different place without Andy. She will be missed by all of us.

When Dawn joined the chorus, she was like a breath of fresh air. She wanted to sing, and after a couple of tries in other parts, she said, "There's got to be a place in this chorus for me!" Then it clicked - bass was her home! She was a faithful, hard-working member in many areas of chorus life and always came to practice with a smile and ready to sing. Her life was busy with so many other endeavors as well. She took care of her mind and her body by swimming, biking, running marathons, and studying for and completing her law degree. Nothing was too overwhelming for Dawn. She came from a family of 8 and raised 3 of her own. She maintained a positive attitude, boundless energy, a love of life, and a gentle spirit that always found the good in others. She was beautiful inside and out. We can all take a page from her book of life - look for the good and find a way to get things done instead of looking at the obstacles. Dawn had a life lived to the fullest but ended all too soon. She will be greatly missed by so many that she touched in her short life.
To you Dawn - with a song in our hearts ...xo
