I am so grateful to God for giving me the gift of 48 years with my daughter. And I accept that He knew when it was time to take her.

I'm very proud of my daughter. She accomplished a whole lot in the short time that she had here... she was a very wonderful person.

Good mothers and good fathers and good families don't always have great children.

You can't treat your voice badly and expect it to stay around.

My faith keeps me strong.

Sometimes, all you can do... is sing.

I trust in God, and His ways are not our ways. So we have to go with that, and there's nothing I can do about that.

There will always remain more ashes than remorse.

Don't get stuck in your grieving, look to heaven ... God has more in store for you.

The great cosmic illusion is a hierophany.... One is devoured by Time, not because one lives in Time, but because one believes in its reality, and therefore forgets or despises eternity.

We make too much of winning. The mere fact of winning doesn't make you great.
