I wish to be put away in a western dress I designed, with my daughter's little gold cross necklace and my son's small white testament in my hands, and my wedding band on.

It sure gives me faith and a wonderful feeling to know how many fans and friends are wanting me well again.

Im not making up my mind about anything right now. Things are happening so quickly for me, and Im still in the thinking stage.

Im gonna be something one of these days.

I don''t wanna be rich, just live good.

You don't appreciate home until you leave it and, let me tell you, you can't appreciate life till you've almost left it! Some people hope and die with their song still in them. I used to think that happiness resulted when my earnings matched my yearnings! But not anymore!

You might say it was my return to the living that launched me as a singer. I was placed in an oxygen tent, and the doctors brought me back to life.
