Abby's Signature Concert SeriesIn
1989, Abby French was born with severe developmental disabilities. Though her
doctors gave her a life expectancy of only two years, Abby lived a ‘long life’
and died when she was ten years old. Her circle of care givers included her family
and friends, with invaluable support from Respite Care and Hospice of Larimer
County. Abby spent much of her day listening to
music. In fact, music was one thing that seemed to bring her comfort. Over the
years Abby’s mother, Christy, a pianist, brought together many talented musicians
to play for Abby. The music touched Abby in a special way and, in turn, Abby touched
the lives of the musicians who gathered to play for her. Abby’s
Signature Concert Series has been established in Abby’s memory and is inspired
by the belief that every life has a special purpose. The concerts have become
a wonderful opportunity for others to donate their time, talent and resources
to helping children and families in our community. Upcoming
