Last January while sitting at a computer at the Library. I heard beautiful music. I was certain it was a record or the radio.

I quickly went to investigate and was told it was ??????

A lone Italian violin is on display in a Saint John, N.B., church as the province mourns the loss of one of its youngest musicians.

Ericka Low died in the Saint John Regional Hospital on Monday evening following a two-week battle with pneumonia.

The 30-year-old was the youngest member of the Saint John String Quartet, and the principal second violinist with Symphony New Brunswick.

A graduate of the University of Ottawa's music performance program, she had performed on stages throughout Canada, the United States, France and Germany before joining the Saint John quartet at age 27.

That's her. She's the one with the long, dark hair. Your photos focus mostly on Sonja Adams, the cellist. She's the one with the red hair.

I hadn't heard this story. What a shame. My kids beg to go to the Saint John Free Public Library every time they play, and Erica was always very good with the kids.

She will be missed.
