1. Truly a diva....

4. Yes. In the best sense of the word. I've never run across even a hint that she's a diva in the

negative, egotistical sense...which is another reason to admire her, in addition to her amazing talent.

2. My late wife, Noelle

...she asked for this to be played at her funeral service. It was a powerful moment, for me, and for our friends.

5. I'm so sorry you lost her.

I believe you will see her again (a belief based not on religion - I left the church I was raised in by my late teens - but what I've learned of near death experiences and other experiences). And I believe she crossed over to healing, joy and reunions with loved ones already there.

Your wife made such a perfect choice with this song. Not just an exquisitely beautiful melody, but great lyrics to evoke that feeling of crossing over (like the poem Gone From My Sight, which I also love).

7. Thank you, of like mind

Regarding seeing loved ones again. Both Noelle and the wife before her (also died of cancer) believed in reincarnation) as do I.
Marcy, who was before Noelle, loved to ponder our "big spirits" all sitting on the rings of Saturn, a front row seat, to watch what we're all up to here as the smaller spirits who went down to try the lovely Gaia for a while.

3. Stunning

6. Definitely. It was a breathtaking performance of a great song that very much deserved

the Academy Award it won.
