    Teena Marie was a soulful songstress who gave her all – you can hear it in her songs. May she rest in peace and may God be with her family/friends. Life is short, make love a priority!

    March 2010, Jazz in the Garden, Lady T brought the house down. It is sad to know I will never get to see u perform live again. RIP! Heaven is your home now! I pray your daughter can get through this devastating loss with the strength of family. She will be truly missed.
