She certainly was an amazing woman. Just think of how wonderful it must be for her in Heaven where now she can see Jesus face to face.

I love the songs that she wrote. She was really remarkable and gifted. She is inspiring to anyone who has any kind of a disability.

I read about Frances Jane Crosby. I read about of her the best know songs Blessed Assurance ,Jesus Tenderly calling you Home, Praise Him, Praise Him and To God be the Glory.She was blind. Her father died when she was one year old ,so she was raised by her mother and grandmother.At the of eight she wrote the verses about her condition.
Oh , what a happy soul I am
Although I cannot see,
I am resolved that in this world
Contented I will be.

How many blessings I enjoy,
That other people don’t
To weep and sigh because I’m blind,
I cannot ,and I won’t.
Eliza Hewitt:
Away to the country of sunshine and songs
Our songbird has taken her flight
And she who has sing in the darkness
Now sings in the beautiful light.
Fanny was amazing woman.
