* HeartwarmingInHindsight: While her passing away would've been inevitable even if wasn't as tragically cut short as it is in her song "My Love Is Your Love" her singing "If I should die this very day, don't cry cause on earth we weren't meant to stay." can be very bittersweet yet comforting since it interprets like her consoling the ones who mourned her death.
