I am not posting this for any kind of sensational reason. I simply want fans to be aware today is the one year anniversary of the death of Sophia Gokey, Danny’s wife. You can send special thoughts to Danny on his Twitter page.
Danny, we are all thinking of you today and sending an extra prayer for peace. May God bless you and your family today.
Message from Danny on Twitter:
Thank u all so much 4 the prayers, love, and support! Today I celebrate the life of my wife, her impact, her love and that SHE made me a better man than what I was. Im so grateful for the time I had with her while she was here and that I had the privilege to be her husband. Its only been a year today that she went home, but I have found hope in her wanting me to follow my desire for music and in establishing her legacy through http://www.sophiasheart.org
Also a special heartfelt thanks to all the people who made donations to Sophia’s Heart Foundation in her honor and in her memory. It means so much to me and I don’t take it lightly. My dream is to touch and bring hope into many lives because thats what Sophia stood for. It was her passion
Today we celebrate her life, legacy and most of all her love!
Love you all
-Danny Gokey
I admire you so much Danny! Your strength and your talent move me always! You are such a survivor. I lost my mom quickly when I was 17 and it was music that helped me heal. YOU are still helping me heal! I am sure you are reflecting today, and as you do I want you to know that you are touching millions of lives with your spirit and song and we love you!! God bless!! Erika
Keep being strong! Good luck and God bless Danny!
Danny, you are an inspiration to me. Today should be a day of remembering good times you had with your wife. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers throughout the day. May God bless you in your new life. You have already and will continue to make a HUGE impact in many lives. May God be with you today and always!!
Stay strong always

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today. Sophia would be so proud of the commitment you have made to keeping the memory of her alive through Sophia’s Heart Foundation. You have already touched so many with your music, and your foundation will be equal in it’s reach. May God bless you in all that you do.

Thank you Amy! This picture is thoughtful and appropriate for the day. I posted the following comment when I made my donation today:
“Special thoughts and prayers today to Danny and all family and friends. Today we remember Sophia and provide support for the foundation that was started in her name. “My Wish” is that this foundation can accomplish it’s goals. One heart, touching many.<3"
VickieCarol – love that Gravatar!! I have been looking for that picture of him in the purple shirt (the same outfit Amy has on her banner page for this site). I have searched and can’t find it. I would love to find that picture!
Please know that God’s love surrounds you in your time of pain…You are in my thoughts and prayers…

This is just the beginning for you now Danny as you go forth and purse your dreams that Sophia inspired in your heart to do!!! Go and do and be all that you were created for!
I love you! Jeremiah 29:11.
heres a poem
Fly Away To the Angels
Fly away to the angels,
fly away and be free.
Let your soul be at peace now;
will you look down on me?
Are you numb or alone,
can you hear when I speak?
Are you happy or sad,
do you feel, do you see?
I can’t understand
how it was for you.
Were you scared, did you cry?
Now I’m crying, too.
It was just yesterday-
you entered my mind.
I wondered how you were,
I remembered our times…
You could have come to me,
though I’m sure you didn’t know.
I would have been there,
tried to soften the blow.
I can’t believe that you’re gone,
I read all your old letters.
You were sweet, loving, and kind,
And that’s what I’ll remember.
So fly away to the angels,
fly with them and be free.
Let your soul be at peace now,
don’t forget about me.
in our hearts
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
And the days before that, too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in His Keeping.
We have you in our Heart.
Please don’t sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears…
It’s far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know…
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.
Thanks Rachel…
Racheal,
Very nice!!! Thanks….
Danny, you and your family are in my prayers. God Bless You.
I just sent Danny a tweet. I know he appreciates every single word of love we send him. Anoop tweeted him with support, too. So cool that he has so many good friends around him now.
