“Since then I’ve played at the events. Hospice Whanganui took excellent care of Luke and his family and I want to help them like they’ve helped so many. The way I can do that is by playing my harp at these events.”
She says the remembrance garden is a “wonderful space”.
“It’s a beautiful place. The gardens are amazing and there’s something both inviting and comforting about the space.”
On the day Hospice Whanganui will plant a tree of remembrance.
“It’s a great way to celebrate those we’ve lost. Hospice Whanganui will also have a memory bowl that people can place flowers in. I feel very privileged to be involved in the event.”
Julie wants to give back to Hospice Whanganui and she says the harp is a beautiful instrument and she’s happy to share it with people.
“It’s an instrument that isn’t often played publicly. It’s a great fit for these remembrance events as it’s a touching instrument to listen to. It really helps with the atmosphere of remembering.”
