The message inside the CD cover reads

A special thanks to...

...the Lord Jesus Christ, whom I have accepted as my personal savior on February 27, 1973. Besides the promise of an eternal home in heaven, the Lord gave new direction in my life, a ministry in music with my husband and family, and a desire to bring glory to Him through the music we play and sing.

... many harpists who have made their studies available in book and video form. Since I have had to depend on these materials to learn to play the harp, their study and work has been invaluable to me.

...Jim Hendrick, whose technical expertise, as well as his sense of humor, has made the work so much easier.

...my son, Seth (19), and my nephew Brandon Ives (13), who have added greatly to the quality of this recording. I appreciate their diligent practice, and was pleased with their work in the studio.

...my loving and faithful husband, Alan, who has been so supportive of this project, and has spent much time arranging many of the pieces with me. I am ever grateful for his musical suggestions and guidance, as well as his great patience in listening to the many hours of practice. Without his help, this recording would be an impossibility.

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.
