Their Hearts in the right place but I just find that kinda icky...namely the video will being a part of it...but im pretty tough on deadvertising and making money off the dead even if for charity.

Don't know, but it might have been something she wanted.
The way I look at it, Kay's not dead. Her life made a difference to a lot of people.

I hear you but ever since the Murder of Selena (as my dad says, Well, her fan club director WAS helping her raise her profile) I take a skeptical eye to phostmous releases such as this.

I agree, having the video she made and played at her funeral included in the DVD seems a bit odd, and I'm surprised they did include it, but as 2Old4Title9 mentions it could something she wanted.

IMHO, Kay's faith was the driving force that made her everything she was in life.
As an evangelical Christian myself, when I watched her farewell message on the internet it inspired me to want to be a better woman. Especially when she talked about her favorite songs, which turned out to be some of my favorites as well. I'm a musician, and I will be thinking about Kay Yow every time I play "I'd Rather Have Jesus" from now on.
She was not afraid to face what was coming. Having watched two of my closest friends got through mastectomies, chemo and radiation was also a reality check for me - it can happen to any of us. They're both still here and still singing, and so far cancer free. Research has made this possible. But watching them struggle through the treatment is something that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Frankly, I'll throw my money at the WBCA Cancer Fund every opportunity I get.

Im all for giving money...Fact is I dont need a video and a speech that should be private to give said money (As Queenie can vouch for, I am known for turning down 50 50 tickets and instead just gives $2 just to support the cause)...I give because its good to do an honors a good person...collecting things as an act of faith doesnt ring to me...but to each their own. Disclaimer: I am an anti clerical agnostic so I'll stop here before I say something controversial about material things.

OK, you've been trying to pick an argument since the original post. Who said anything about collecting things as an act of faith? Good for you, you're an anti-clerical agnostic, whatever that means. There are evangelical Christians in the WBB world; deal with it.
Have a nice day.
