One year ago today, Delilah lost her son, Sammy. Delilah found Sammy in a Ghana orphanage. Sammy, who was 15 years old at the time of his passing, suffered from sickle-cell anemia. Delilah is marking today's somber anniversary by remembering her son with a special song.

Sammy was one of seven children that the evening radio hostess has adopted. Of course, after joining Delilah's family the once-homeless teenager blossomed.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of my son Sammy's passing. Since God called him home, two different people have written songs in his honor, and I wanted to share this one with you today, and if you have lost a loved one, I pray that it speaks to your heart as it did to mine...

After Sammy's passing, Jesse Funk wrote the song 'You Lived' as a tribute to the young man:

All proceeds raised from the song benefit Delilah's Point Hope Foundation. The Point Hope Foundation's mission is provide a voice to forgotten children across Africa.
