Sister Eternal written in loving memory of my mother in law Elizabeth Raymond
I am new to PEO, but thanks to Jill and her beautiful music, I feel at home. She has done an amazing job of helping us all to feel where PEO comes from. We love her.
Thanks for the kind words Anne. It great having you in our chapter!
Love this CD. I have sent it to Hawaii ,MO, Ill. and Idaho. Sent one to my cousins chapter as a gift when she was initiated to have in their initiation box. I was a voting member that helped select the pieces to match the founders. Love the march for Franc Roads. She was a mover and shaker. Just like me. Sister Eternal was played at our state convention memorial service last June and was very well received.
Hi Gretchen, You certainly are a mover and shaker! A “Fearless” mover and shaker. Thanks for helping this project come about.
Have you heard Jill’s works? You will be blown away after listening to her creative, masterpieces! Her talents are like no other! I got to be one of the members of BL
to select the music that depicts each of the founders of P.E.O. What a blessing
Jill is to our chapter and now to the world!
Thanks for voting on the different samples of music in order to do justice to our Founders.
I believe you possess some beautiful pictures of these ladies.
This CD is a wonderful honoring of the strong, passionate women who made a difference in our world. Congratulations Jill!
Thanks Cathy. These women lived during the Civil War time. What a huge contribution the Founders have made towards educating women.
Just wanted PEO members (that don’t already know me) that this is my mom and I’m very happy to be her daughter! I always tell my friends that she’s a composer and they rarely believe (until they hear her music that is).
For this CD I had a hand in designing it, but my main roll was the computer techy. Mean I did the computer work while other sisters helped pick out pictures. I talked to my mom about this wanted to see which sister she thought I was and said Alice Coffin, I personally see myself growing more into a Franc Roads personality. As for my favorite, hands down it’s Sister Eternal because every time I hear it I think of my Grandma, Elizabeth.
Keep up the good work mom~ and shout out to Chapter BL!
Thanks for the kind words Kelsi! Its great having you with Chapter BL.
Looking forward to seeing the tote bag that you’re designing for Convention!
