Raquel comes from a performing family, and so do I. My mother sang professionally on television, on the Lawrence Welk Show, and we sang regularly as a family growing up. She even produced an album in 1991 with her favorite inspirational music. I love so much, listening to Raquel’s music, now that she passed away.

I taught Raquel and her brother, Nathan, to sing at a young age, and to perform in church or other venues. And I found some inspirational music that I loved, mostly written by Janice Kapp Perry. I heard that the man who produced my mother’s album, Clive Romney, was still recording music.

I had the instrumental music to the songs I had taught Nathan and Raquel on CD, and had the thought to record us singing some of the songs. It was such a fun project, and now I treasure this music so much! We did it in July of 2011, when Raquel was 12 and Nathan, 14. The lyrics are so sweet, and so is hearing their beautiful, young voices. It’s been healing for me, and I hope it is for you too.
