Rest In Paradise ! Yu Will Truly Be Missed ! <3
Hello Teena!!
I have to write my heart out to you, you truly star on earth and will be truly be miss. I know you at peace and i know you have all the love, from God as you enter the gate of heaven but before you leave before you go please take my love with you. I miss you Lady T R.I.P
Please continue the efforts to get Teena her star, her passing was a blow to all of us who cheerished her music. I had always assumed that she had a star and; upon hearing of her passing, was shocked to find out she did not. I was planning to place a flower there.
As for myself, her lyrics were so poetic and reached into the deepest places of the soul. She gave words and harmony to emotions that many of us can not even comprehend or identify. Thank you Teena may you rest in peace and may (as your song states) Jesus, shine his heavenly light on you once again.

Teena, I am sad. I am heartbroken. But I do believe in God just as you did and he tells us in 1 Thessalonians 4:13 that I would not have you ignorant for those who are sleeping. Rest in Peace my Dear. I miss you and I will see you again when Jesus returns. May God be with her daughter and lift her spirits. God Bless.

Miss you so much
I would like to express my hantks to the writer for rescuing me from this problem. Right after researching through the the net and obtaining solutions that were not pleasant, I figured my entire life was gone. Living minus the strategies to the problems you’ve solved all through your good report is a serious case, and those which might have badly damaged my entire career if I had not discovered your web blog. Your personal knowledge and kindness in playing with all the pieces was important. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come upon such a solution like this. It’s possible to at this point look forward to my future. Thanks a lot very much for this professional and results-oriented help. I won’t be reluctant to suggest the sites to anyone who needs and wants direction about this subject matter.
Lots of people will miss you!
R.I.P Teena,you will never be forgotten.
R.I.P. Teena,you had an amazing voice.
