highlanders39 - 3/20/2009 4:14:32 AM I know this posting is late but was just thinking about Tawn last night and wanted to post something about her. I remember when she came into the KNAC family in they golden age of metal. She had a great voice, a fantastic personality, a beautiful lady inside and out. I was blessed to be able to hang out with her more than a few times at places like the now gone Joshuas Parlour among other places just rocking out, laughing, talking, and drinking together.
No matter how naughty she made herself out to be, she had a beautiful and good soul and it showed everytime she smiled. Tawn, you will be sorely missed and the rock world has lost one of it's true goddesses.
Long live the Leather Nun in Heaven! Enjoy the rest Tawn, you deserve it.

ffuser9 - 10/8/2007 2:29:36 PM Just heard about this today. I know she was sick though. Man I sure miss those days when 105.5 rocked So Cal, of which she was a huge part. Recently caught up with her again on Sirius. She'll sure be missed! Rock In Peace sister!!
JumpinJennifer - 10/7/2007 7:19:26 PM Dear Cara - we had the opportunity to work together with Tawn on that silly little show at the Roxy. How much fun was that! And Tawn was always that way - Over the Edge. I loved her and will miss her voice coming out of the speakers. God be with you and your family in his horrible time. Our tears and prayers are with you.
