Her music has been inspirational in my life to the point where I remember where I was when I first heard "Overcomer". "Good Morning" is also another anthem and I especially like the Toby Mac comment at the end of the song

Somebody posted on this yesterday. I had never heard of her. Your vid selections were much better.
Did they ever say what she died of?
