R SQUARED "GIG ALERT"
Week of March 23rd, 2012

Week in WRAP
This past Christmas, RSQUARED delivered many Holiday Saxograms to people in our community. That Friday night in December, we were blessed to have played for a man named Bert Stiles. At the time, he was living in an assisted living home due to a brain tumor. Before his diagnosis, Bert was a church pastor and strong follower of Christ. We had the opportunity to play for him because our chauffeur that night, Steve Knobeloch, knew him personally and wanted to make a stop. This week, I had breakfast with Steve and one of the first things he said to me after I sat down was, "Tim, I need to show you something." He handed me a folded up piece of paper and on the front it read In Loving Memory.

I opened the Visitation Note and read inside that Bert Stiles had passed away. On the left hand side of the note, there was a hand-written message from Bert's mother. She wrote to us, explaining how much Bert appreciated us stopping by that night in December. At the time, Bert did not seem too excited that we were there, but from I was told, he was sharing with the world how he loved our music.

This was a powerful moment for Noah and I because we learned how a little music brightened the remaining days of this man's life. We know now that he is with God, singing and dancing to the music in Heaven. (Please see the attached picture of Bert, Noah, and I at the nursing home)

This week, we plan to have a large group with us to visit Grandma Brown. She has recently come home from the hospital and we would like to make a surprise visit at her house. We might be going out for ICE CREAM or dinner afterward, so if you would like to tag along, give us a call!

Quote of the Week:  
This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind... let it be something good. -Anonymous
