Wow Eddie.
This is Cynthia, Danniebelle's youngest.
How beautiful your words are!!!
No, I dont feel that you are selfish at all in saying that. I miss my mom SO MUCH that each Sunday where I would normally call her and we would talk about EVERYTHING seem so different now. So instead of picking up the phone and calling her like I used to. I just bow my head and pray-and talk. Its soothing, and somehow, I feel as though she hears me.
My husbands mother passed away 4 months after my father passed away-and my then 5 yr old daughter was missing her Grandmother very very much. My mother in law passed from cancer. My daughter would ride with her to the hospital for her treatments. So she was very much a part of her Grandmothers experience with cancer. After she passed, my daughter asked me if she prayed to God-could she ask him to tickle her Grandmas feet.
I thought how soothing for her to have a God in her life that will take us through our hardest problems. Even at 5-she turns to God for comfort.

My mom had a way of making you feel normal. You say you have never met her-but to hear her music is to know her. I remember growing up, and she would be composing at the piano. We had to have complete silence in the house. Those are wonderful memories, and I can pop the music in the player-and be reminded so much of my child hood hearing those songs being brought to life!!!

I never appreciated "He Giveth More Grace" until after my moms passing. Many people like you would email saying how much that song, inparticular, blessed them so. A gentleman by the name of B Dodson sent me a video where my mom sang at his church in Columbus Ohio-1978. She sang "He Giventh More Grace" and not only did I get a chance to see what my mom looked like when I was 12!!! I could relate to that song as an adult!!! It had been years since I had seen my mom perform live.
Oh what a joy and a present her ministry is. I truly feel as though she hasnt gone ANYWHERE!! I can close my eyes, and hear her sweet voice in my ears.

I miss her so!!!

Thank you-thanks to all for their wonderful postings. I think this website is a true testimony to her fellowship!!! I pray that it will be used as a vechicle for many to continue to be blessed of the Lord through her ministry.

God Bless You..

In His Name

: I remember the very first time heard a Danniebelle song. I was at a close friend's house. While sitting enjoying a very interesting conversation I heard some music coming from another room. I excused myself and walked to that room to find my friend's daughter listing to a most powerful song. The lyric was captivating and the piano was, to me, spell binding.
: I asked my friends daughter "Who is that!".
: Her reply was "Danniebelle".
: "Dannie who! " I replied thinking that I has some how misunderstood what she had said.
: "Danniebelle Hall" she replied again.
: In my mind I thought, "this woman got a gift" and then proceeded to look at the album cover to figure out what song was playing (CD's had not been invented yet back then :-). It was "He Giveth More Grace".

: I stayed in that back room the rest of the day listening to that album. I was hooked and have been a fan ever sense.

: If you will, allow me another few moments to say that she was one of the most influential singers of my lifetime. She wrote songs and sang with a passion that is absolutely and truly rare. Through her inspired writings she has conveyed both the pain of our earthly struggles and the sublime joy of our hope and relationship with our creator and savior.
