She passed away of breast cancer in 1996, and somewhere in the scuffle afterwards, my family lost track of the tape. I was a young kid when all this happened, and though I couldn’t fully recall the title, I remembered and loved every song.

I am very grateful to Bob and Evelyn McNally, who sent me a free copy of the CD after I told them how much it meant to me!
