I am looking for an album or recording which has the following dialog.
'In 1971 a young woman died at the age of 20. She left behindd, a
husband, a 2 year daughter and a journal of tape recordings. It also
contains songs including Country Roads.

This is a short sample of the recording.

Hello.

The album was the soundtrack for a television movie called "Sunshine"
(1973).  John Denver did most of the music for the soundtrack.


From a newsgroup post archived by Google Groups:

 "Lyn Helton is dead. Her story, telling what it's like to die, what it's like
to leave a husband and daughter behind to try to squeeze every ounce of life
and love and happiness into a sadly short periof of time, is real. It
happened. "Sunshine" is drawn closely from that story...
Lyn Helton died at the age of twenty from a rare form of bone cancer called
osteogenic sarcoma. She left behind a husband, a two year old daughter, and
a journal of tape recordings. A journal that told what it was to be young,
and a mother, and in love, and dying."
