A Handbell Choir Created in Honor and Remembrance of Children Who Have Passed Away
A Unique Community Handbell Ensemble
Music is one of the most universal means of expression and an ongoing link to the memory of loved ones. In honor and remembrance of their children who passed away, a group of parents created a handbell choir in 2004 as a continuing expression of their love for God and their joy in the gift of these children.
A Special Gift of Remembrance
Our handbells are individually donated and carry a child's name and unique inscription created by the parents in each handle. Some of the current ringers are parents or relatives of these children.
A Message of Hope and Healing
The music played by the bells representing our children is unlike any other – it is a beautiful contribution the children are continuing to make to the world every time we ring. From this symbolism comes the name of the ensemble: Music Made in Heaven. The message behind the music is one of faith, hope, joy and gratitude for our children's lives.
