The Saddest Day of my Life

Today was the saddest day of my life.  Today was the day when I found out about the unexpected death of my piano teacher Elena Shoemaker.  She died of liver disease.  She was a loving, caring teacher and a equally great friend.  I loved the way she chastised me when I got something wrong or was being too stubborn.  I wrote a eulogy for her below.  Elena Shoemaker
Unknown-April 3, 2012
A great piano teacher
and a just as great friend.
May her memory live on forever in the minds of the Great Pianists.
Place of birth: Unknown
Place of death: San Miguel de Allende

She was one of the most influential people in my life.
