I repent daily my sins, my faults and my shortcomings. He has brought me out of so many fires, oh so many, 23 years alive after the doctors pronounced i would be dead way back then 1992...I lift my head up high to the sky and do thank my Jesus that He has kept me thus far and even as much as this body would love to be with Tho my testimonies, some hard and some dangerously painful are all unto the glory of the Lord. i am learning continuous obedience always hoping for change to become who He is... thru all my sufferings ...And my King has made my heart soft...My very first prayer on my deathbed to Jesus was" Do whatever it takes to save me, just don't let me die...Whatever it takes, make my heart whole...He is busily working on me...If you are suffering thru something right now i lift you to Jesus ..may He preserve you and keep you unto His heavenly kingdom and may you endure thru your change in Him...He knows what it takes to break us, make us deliver us into His Holy hands amen...Make our hearts Whole amenClick to expand...

NY Daily Tells cause of death
The Canadian-born pop singer and actress had been battling inflammation of her small intestines, the latest in a string of health problems.

Vanity, whose real name was Denise Matthews, was a budding pop star in the ‘80s.
Vanity, born Denise Katrina Matthews, had asked fans to help her pay for her treatments through a GoFundMe page as she fought a conditon called, sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis. In 1994, a crack cocaine overdose left her kidneys so damaged that she required regular dialysis.

It’s a sad ending for an artist who showed so much promise with Vanity 6’s 1982 hit, “Nasty Girl.”
