Mrs. MIDDLETON taught me so much more than music. EVERY person she met was changed and forever touched by her light. Heaven has reclaimed an Angel . . .

Mrs. Middleton was such an accomplished musician. She was an important part of worship at Warsaw Presbyterian when I was growing up, as well as the organist at our wedding. My condolences to W.J.

My life is infinitely better for knowing Mrs. Middleton. She was a devout teacher that loved her students and shared in their many successes. She gave of herself, and her many gifts, that her students might develop a lifelong love of music. Many of her students will continue to give that gift for many years to come. She was a shining star that passed her light on to many students and friends. She will be forever be in my heart and my memory. Farewell, dear friend.
