    Dearest Teena;

    Thank you for sharing your gift with us for so many years. I loved your voice, your music, your message and most of all your spirit in bringing it! To me, darlin, you're not BLACK, you're not WHITE, but a FABULOUS ARTIST with, from what I hear, a genuine, honest and sincere character. You're in the hands of The Almighty now, my Sister – and while He's taking care of you, He's also going to bring comfort to your daughter, the rest of your family, friends and fans. You rest now – with the comfort of hearing those words from He who loves you best – "WELL DONE, MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT, WELL DONE!!!

    A very sad loss to the music industry. Her voice was magnificent and angelic all in one. As i read all the negative comments made in her regard from people who only know Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Angie Stone, and Whitney Houston, Teena could easily blow them off the stage with one note tied behind her back. R.I.P. Teena.
