Shout out to Lauren B. Martin for hosting another Karaoke for Autism Event. EVERYONE got up, grabbed the mic & belted out their best. Our KJ sang Penny Lover and surprised us all. We sang, we laughed, we loved & we remembered one of our own. (RIP Teresa Schwartz Parry) #DSS2018! pic.twitter.com/yBw3gz3StJ— DaytimeStarsNStrikes (@DStarsNStrikes) October 9, 2018
