A truly wonderful article. And such a beautiful voice. There are of course many wonderful and inspiring LDS musicians. And good music has such great value to the mind, to the spirit. I want to contribute two bits: Some wonderful performers just sort of fade from attention. I got reacquainted with Lex de Azevedo a few years ago, and I think it's sad that knowledge of his works has faded since I became aware of it in about '75. One here: https://youtu.be/7OdUBvB3Ots

I am so glad I decided to read this article about Cherie, a long time friendly associate in the LDS Music world. I've been off Social Media for months and had no idea Ron Simpson had passed away. I second and third every wonderful thing said about Ron. I never was blessed to take a BYU music class with him, though he offered to let me as a non-BYU student but for complicated reasons I couldn't attend. I was so blessed to work with him on the Faith Centered Music Assoc. committee back in the early 2000's. He was so gracious and good with each and every musician and songwriters like me, who went to every workshop they could attend but couldn't attend BYU. Prayers of comfort for his family. What a tremendous legacy he has left us all with. Cherie is amazing and as a fellow songwriter has inspired me on many levels through the years.
