So many of us started to miss her when she left the DC area and moved up to Vermont--and always hoped we'd see more of her than we did. I always thought of her as the grande dame of the FSGW, and I suspect I wasn't alone. But we'll always remember her for being such a vital force, a wonderful person, and with so many musical sides to her.

She made so many songs indelibly her own--in so many different styles. So many of us will never be able to hear "Beulah Land", "Heaven Will Protect the Working Girl", "There Is A Fountain" (Miner's Version), "Lonesome Robin", "Been In the Storm So Long", "Palms of Victory"-the list seems to go on forever----without hearing her singing them again.

It's so hard to know we'll never hear her sing again except on record---but her legacy is immortal.
