HOPKINSVILLE, KY. (WTVF) — A sad update to a my hero segment I shared with you in March.

Marsha Southern of Hopkinsville, the bedridden sister who was born with Cerebral palsy passed away last week. Her sister Teresa Howard was honored as my hero for her lifetime of commitment to taking care of Marsha.

Selfless sister finds purpose as caregiver for her sister

Teresa gave up her life for her sister and moved her into her own home and provided around the clock care for more than thirty years. Services for Marsha are today and I wanted them to know that we are praying for the family.

If you'd like to help Teresa, there is a memorial fund account set up at Planters Bank. PO BOX 1570 Hopkinsville, KY 42240. Checks can be made to Teresa Howard or to Marsha Southern's Memorial Fund.

In person donations can be made at any Planters Bank in KY or TN

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
