And so your time has come, sweet songstress.
Velvet tones so well remembered,
You gathered in your faithful flock,
Wooed with words sublime.
I hope you left life feeling fulfilled.
Rest peacefully now, your song is done.

She was one of the greatest of her time and her voice will live on forever!
Beautiful. I loved her voice and the way it smoothed over all the cracks.
A velvet voice that graced us...
For us her song will live forever. And as a person of faith, it may well be that she's just gettin' started.
I have no idea who she is but may her soul rest in peace 🥺❤️
Such a gorgeous tribute Raymond! May she rest well! 🕊️
How sad and I liked her songs. What a great tribute to a great woman and pop singer. Good job.
