Not sure what to say?

My dad loved opera and Rise. So he named me after her. Sorry we never got to meet her. I have listened to many of her interviews. What a great person.

she was my all time favorite singer. she seemed like the sweetest person when i listen to her singing.i I'm now 90 and have followed her in singing and enjoyed her in the movies she made especially " Going My Way" with Bing Crosby. She performed Carmen like no one else. Marion Cates.

I finally got to know her by name and spirit in the movie going my way . Amen

My Mom s favorite me too
