RIP Jenni Rivera

Fans across the world are mourning the tragic death of Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera.  The Chicago Tribune reports that she perished on December 9, 2012: her private plane crashed in the state of Nuevo Leon, Mexico. 

I am sending warm thoughts and prayers to her family, friends, and beloved fans alike.

I will always remember Jenni Rivera as being a free spirit.  One of the reasons why she was so popular and loved is quite simple: she was authentic to herself and shared her triumphs and challenges through her music.  She was able to match beauty and elegance with down home honesty.  This bonded her with her beloved fans and was truly refreshing.

God bless you, Jenni Rivera.  I hope the angels gave you a warm welcome home.
