RIP Whitney Houston...

Today is a very sad day in the entertainment world!! The legendary Whitney Houston was given a homecoming ceremony at her home church in Newark, New Jersey, following her untimely death last weekend that sent shock waves around the world! Many including friends, family, mentors, co-workers came to pay their respects to the departed Whitney!!  ...and what an incredible send off it was! I have never been moved to this extent!!  I am all cried out! I don't remember being like this during Michael Jackson's funeral service yet I love MJ just as much.


Whitney Houston has given us decades of incredible music and film that will live on forever!  Her music was part and parcel of my formative years to date. There can never be a voice like hers - the golden voice as it was fondly referred to.  Today, I will focus on the positive contribution that she made to the world.  Her struggles though a part of her, seem so trivial right now! I chose to celebrate her life!

RIP Whitney Elizabeth Houston. I will always love you!  Rest with the angels. My prayers goes out to the family at this time of grief. 


**I can't wait to see the remake of Sparkle that she recently finished shooting with Jordin Sparks.

What a beautiful service for Whitney and she should be so proud of all the love she has received. The performances by bebe & cece winans, R kelly, Alicia Keys etc brought alot of people to tears. Im glad I was part of this experience. RIP Whitney Houston.

Likewise Lilly!! I felt honored to be a part of such an incredible send off! It was moving & inspiring.
R.Kelly was a surprise for me. Kim Burelll & the Winans brought the house down! The sermon was very fitting.
