"We can confirm that yesterday Mandisa was found in her home deceased. At this time we do not know the cause of death or any further details," the Facebook post read."We ask for your prayers for her family and close knit circle of friends during this incredibly difficult time. Mandisa was a voice of encouragement and truth to people facing life’s challenges all around the world." Mandisa performs during the Dove Awards Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2014, in Nashville, Tenn.

"What I want to say to you is that, yes, you hurt me and I cried and it was painful, it really was. But I want you to know that I've forgiven you and that you don't need someone to apologize in order to forgive somebody," she told Cowell later in the season.
