    I was 25 years old and i was on my knees as my dad was dieing. my uncle held my hand and spoke those words as his brother passed away. thank you sweet heart for singing this song because you have the voice of an angel. men don't cry. but that one i am blaming on the eye drops. lol thank you again. this is my first time hearing you sing. thank you for giving that back to me again...

    Absolutely beautiful. My sister played this solo at my mom's funeral and at each anniversary Mass for the last 10 years. My dad passed two weeks ago. My sister Kathleen, or "Trink " as she has been known to us forever had the courage and strength to get on the altar and share her best with her guitar and voice a tremendously moving, meaning personal version of this. If this was her inspiration, THANK YOU!!

    So I just can't get enough of your music! After hearing this song I thought, I wonder what other versions are like since there seems to be a million on youtube. After trying about half a million I've determined this is definitely the most beautiful version there is. Thank you for knowing your purpose in life and blessing the rest of us with the gifts God has bestowed upon you. I thank God for beauty like this and you will always be in my prayers. God bless you in the most Christian, American, Irish, Universal, Heavenly ways humanly fathomable and eternally purposed in your creation when God said "let there be Sheena"!! :)

    You sing it as it should be sung-with warmth and feeling.
    You perhaps really don't know how good a singer and interpreter you are Sheena.
    I sent it to my love in Italy and I hope that until we meet again god will hold her in the palm of His hand.
    God bless you Francesca.
    Love, pat.
