Angeletta’s Wish was to visit her home, play her grand piano and see the water
A beautiful rendition of musical life. Angeletta’s Wish was to visit her home and play her grand piano.
A piano instructor for over 17 years, Angeletta piano teachings were legendary. Normally playing piano for 4 hours a day, the soothing sounds and emotional expression she performed could only be described like painting a landscape without a brush.
What made this eternally special was the fact that the piano had been in repairs for over 6 months whilst she had been in hospital, so to play it for the first time surrounded by those she loved most was a beautiful moment that will be remembered forever.
But the memories didn’t stop here. The Wish team and Angeletta had an impromptu stop at the local fish and chips store for potato scallops! Calling ahead, Angeletta made sure that there was extra chicken salt and dollops of tomato sauce to go along with it. As a finale, Angeletta sat next to the water, savouring the salty, crispy potato with a view that almost could not be beat.
Her smile said it all.
Thank you to our wonderful wish team Vicky, Tiana and Amanda for fulfilling this last wish for creating memories forever for her loved ones.
