Lovely voice. After reading the news, I listened to the beautiful "Fly Away" once again.

I actually cried a little when I heard the news. This one really hurts because I love her music.

I knew it was coming / it was expected.  Yet it's still a painful loss.  She had a ton of decent material.

RIP Roger E Mosley.  What a brutal week, let alone year.

Same here... My first time I ever saw her work was her narrating the old Timeless Tales tapes from Hallmark...but as far as her music goes, it recently took me listening to her cover of Country Roads in the Studio Ghibli film, Whisper of the Heart, to really appreciate her work further. RIP Olivia...

Heard Olivia's first hit "Let Me Be There" in my junior year of high school (1973-74). I then saw her in a magazine photo. Such incredible beauty. And charm to match.

Anne Heche's life support is about to be turned off. Meaning what I think it means. Rest in peace. She struggled with so much in her life.
