She was a very talented singer, musician and songwriter. Who knows, maybe we will see her in the New System where she can get a whole new 'cup of ambition'

 It is sad that some of old timers do not stop performing, like Rod Stewart, Barry Mellow, Lionel Richie and others. They in their 70’s and 80’s and performing has to be killing them.

Made me so sad! I met her in person once, she was recording her "Halo and Horns" Album at the recording studio my son-in-law owned. She came out of the recording booth and spoke to my Sis and Mom and me for awhile. She was so sweet, my daughter made her special kind of cookies to give her. We shared some of her last batch, she said she took them home and put them in the freezer to enjoy with her hubby. She was such a good person, hopefully Jehovah will remember her in the resurrection, along with my daughter and her husband, both are now deceased.

I liked her movies "Steel Magnolias" 9 to 5 and countless others!  And I liked her songs as well.

One could just feel that she was truly a sweet person, who truly cared about others!

Being widowed is beyond heartbreaking; some times it breaks the whole life.

I guess when you love performing it's hard to stop.

Don't know about others, but when someone dies that appeared to me as a *good person* by the public life they lived, I Iike to think they now have a surer chance of entering into the NW
