“At the heart of her work, she gave children the opportunity to listen and connect to beautiful music. Many times I saw her enter a room, sense what musical choice would be most appropriate and then immediately and deeply connect with the patient and family through her music”
– Rebecca Rice, Oakland Children's Hospital

“Thank you so much for visiting our patients and their families. Your songs and music were such a success with the kids. Even the children who are traditionally the quietest and most withdrawn enjoyed and even participated during your time with them. Your ability to choose the right song certainly provided a meaningful connection for patients and parents and from my perspective, was so exciting to watch.”
– R. Rice, Child Life Specialist, Oakland Children's Hospital

“I just want to share something very cool going on for me around Deeya. She is constantly in my thoughts, I remember how her pregnancy affected me, the hopes I had, how much love I was pouring into her spirit. I feel fairly well healed from the sadness of the experience, but one of the most critical parts of this ongoing healing is your song. With my own musical propensities, the music leads right into the spiritual centers of my heart. When I think of Deeya, I don't have to be sad and regretful... I can embrace the experience, say I miss you and I love you. I sing it often to myself, to her…Everyone should be so fortunate to have a friend who can see so clearly, so deeply. My life would definitely be less without you. With big love and gratefulness.
