Because He Lives - Dallas Fort Worth Mass Choir

[@MrDenpal15]

Man I’m in tears right now at work. Good ole church.

[@GlamMa-c6p]

Beautiful song excellent job I can listen to it over and over and over again black excellence

[@JeffreyHarnden-qw8fs]

I was so thrilled when DFW was able to get Debbie. I always loved her voice with the gospel music workshop of America mass mass choir. I wish they were able to get the late rev James Cleveland but he wasn’t in good health and I know he wouldn’t have been able to travel from California to Dallas Texas. But can anyone imagine James and DFW singing I don’t feel no ways tired together. This chior had such amazing with anyone who performed with them Milton Myrna summers Timothy wright Debbie Austin Dottie peoples carol Cobb Linda Williams. Etc etc etc heck if frank williams was still alive or Thomas Whitfield omg let stop now

Sandy was anointed child. She used to our house as a young childhood friend of my sister's... her singing stirs my soul..truly an Angel.

[@dawnrichardsonfuller8329]

I used to sing with Sandy...she was truly anointed!! I still get teary when I hear her singing...miss her so much!

[@stevo6274]

How did she pass if you don't mind me asking

[@bxrokk]

I believe she and members of her family were killed while driving through a flash flood caused by a terrible storm in Dallas.
