    The world has a terrible lump in its throat this day and tears in eyes learning that Nanci Caroline Griffith has 'gone home'. We were blessed by her gracious presence, kindness and talent. Sure hope her spirit is soaring to freer and lighter heights. Gone but not ever forgotten.

      @@PNdebt-hc2tg yes, her awareness at this age was what I could always relate to as well. She was one to collaborate with so many over the years, and always acknowledge the works of others and inspirations on her life and work. We can learn a thing or two from her time on earth for sure.

    This song always touched me too Nanci Caroline Griffiths. The world was never the same the first time I heard you sing it and yesterday I felt so sad when I heard you gained your wings. I had to listen to it hours later in the darkness. Rest in peace Nanci, thank you for all the beautuful songs and your beautiful existence. 😢⚘

    How much grace, how much sweetness...how much beauty...There
    are so many songs that you listen to 100 times and how they come in, they come out, and then there are pearls of songs like this that you listen to once, they go in and they don't go away anymore...This was absolutely the first song I heard from Nanci.
    She's totally into the song ..
    It's Impossible not to love this artist, that I see on stage, not to love all her grace, her sweetness and her honesty...
    Nanci has an extreme sensitivity.I hope that those Norwegians have perceived what gift had happened to them ..
    I think this song is very special for Nanci.
    Grazie Nanci Caroline, Thanks a lot. Love❤️
