Sadly, I thought I should pass on the news that the woman who started the House of Music way back in 2005, Cindy Smedberg, has passed away. I hadn't seen her in a while so I don't have any details about what happened. But I can tell you that as long as I've owned the House of Music, she was an ambassador and a supporter. Every time I did see her, she always thanked me for continuing to share music with people in our community and encouraged me to keep doing what I was doing. Thank you Cindy. She will be missed.
