Moon Over Mountains Threshold Choir

Susanna had spent the night in a chair, at the bedside of her father, Ray. A patient of Agape Hospice, he was nearing the end of his life. A little after 8 a.m., at Susanna's request, a small choir arrived at his bedside and began to sing. They sang songs that honored his roots in Appalachian music and his faith, Christianity. 

They sang gentle, quiet, exquisite harmonies, their songs floating out into the hall of the facility where Ray lived. Susanna held his hand as the women sang. 

After the choir left, the facility Director saw that Ray’s once rapid breath had slowed, and he looked at peace. Ray died three hours later. The Director expressed her thanks for the privilege of having Moon Over Mountains, saying, “We are ready to be called on again.”  

Thank you to the threshold choir, for honoring Ray and his family with your gift.
