Due to blood clots caused by COVID, Anglea had a lower leg amputation and multiple strokes.  She briefly lost her ability to speak and still struggles with aphasia (the ability to find the right word).  During her rehab she knew that God was leading her to sing again and tell others about his grace.  At the time, she questioned this epiphany since she could barely speak.  Through much dedication she progressed and began singing at assisted living facilities and churches with her late sister.  Our God is amazing and today she now sings with By Faith Quartet. 

Music has always been a big part of Allan's life. His family heritage has influenced him in so many ways. His musical talent covers everything from singing to playing instruments. His career in music started when he was very young. When he got saved, his passion for singing gospel music grew and became a huge part of his Christian walk. He started by leading the congregational singing in the church he attended. From there, he began to sing solo at churches and events around the community..

Mary Anne developed a love for singing at a very young age while singing gospel songs with her father. She sang for many years in the church choir where she learned to sing harmony. She traveled to Southern Indiana, Kentucky, and parts of Illinois with her church praise and worship team. For many years this joy was forgotten about until her spirit was stirred up and a longing to sing praises to the Lord sprang up once again.
