It is with sadness that I share the news of the death of a former student, Becky Smith Owens.  After a valiant battle with cancer Becky passed away in July.  Becky was my second piano student and went on to study music as a flute performance major receiving undergraduate degrees in nutrition and flute performance from SPU, and a masters in flute performance from the Ohio State University.  I, along with Becky's husband, infant son, extended family and many, many friends will miss her.  But her memory lives on and we know she is now playing in the greatest symphony there is...
