I am so sad to hear of this news. I didn’t know DJ very well at all, I had just met DJ and her husband Daniel on the last Cruise we just performed on. But I met them on a brief moment and what I could see in that brief moment was that these two people really shined a powerful light and showed an outpouring love for one another. My heart is very heavy today after hearing of this and we will be dedicating our song Fly To The Angel to DJ this evening.. Prayers, Love and Healing to Daniel, her Children and her entire family.. GOD Bless you all, Blando

Mr. and Ms. Olson: I am just now learning of the passing of DJ and I am so sorry for your loss. She was one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met. So upbeat, so generous, so loving. We had a professional relationship but with DJ you couldn’t help but become good friends. Prayers for the family and please know I will think of her often and with only good memories. Sincerely, Sally McClellan
