In Loving Memory of Laura Branigan
I was out of town when the news of Laura's passing was announced on Friday. It was only this afternoon that I heard the tragic news. No amount of words or sentiments can fully express my sadness and the overwhelming sense of loss I feel at the news of Laura's passing. It doesn't even seem like reality to me. I keep thinking that this is some kind of dream and that I will wake up soon. But I know that is not the case. This is reality and I am very much awake.
Laura was a talented and gifted individual whose heart shown as radiantly as the sun. Despite the difficulties she faced in the last 10 years of her life, she never gave up. She continued to endure and remained within reach of her many fans. I didn't have the opportunity to meet Laura, or to see her live in concert. Both were dreams I had that will now never come to fruition. But through the beautiful music that remains and the fond memories I have as a listener, I know I will forever have a piece of Laura in my heart. My deepest sympathies go out to her family, friends, and the other members of the fan community. She will be greatly missed.
I encourage everyone who visits this site and reads this entry to go out and experience her music for yourself. Whether that is through purchasing one of her many collections or albums, borrowing the discs from a friend, or even downloading songs from the net. You will not be disappointed.
In tribute and memory to Laura's life, heart, and music please listen to her song, Your Love.
