Serious Illness

I have received many letters and phone calls sharing with me that the songs have been used extensively with AIDS and cancer patients. As you'll see below, they have also been a gift to those who deal with chronic illness.

The songs have proven to be a source of comfort during difficult procedures, a support to self-esteem if there has been disfigurement and/or other losses as a result of the illness, ("How could anyone ever tell you you were anything less than beautiful ...") and a reminder of the presence of spirit for those who are dying.
