We had to honor Her.
Continued grace and peace to us all as we deal with the reality of one of earth's angels returning home to be with our Lord Jesus Christ.
R.I.P Whitney Houston you will be missed BUT not forgotten♥ I'll always love uuuuuuuuuu!♥
He said go forth my child and live your life to the fullest, and take care of yourself, but when he looked down he realized you needed assistance, so he called you home so he could do it for you. There is no one greater to take care of you than the Great king himself, and now you are back in his arms were you will get all the love and care you need. RIP Whitney you are loved by millions!
Whitney you are my IDOL and ICON, I grew up listening and watching you perform on television. For my 5th grade talent show I sang "where do broken hearts go" and i was told i could sing lol. Because of you I looked to you and now i know my own strenght and I thank you. You will be missed and your legacy music will go on. R.I.P WHITNEY HOUSE "i will always love you".
Just can not believe Whitney is gone. I know she is in a better place but why does it hurt so much and so bad. It was so unexpected. I heard the song on internet radio "Jesus Loves Me" by Whitney before she died and was just listening to it up the storm. Now I read that very song was on her mind before she passed. Thank you Whitney because not only have you blessed us by sharing you beautiful voice but also by reminding me that Jesus does love us no matter what. I love you, I pray for your family, mom, family, friends, fans, and most of all Bobbie Kristina. My prayers are with you and I am so sorry Bobbie Kristina for your loss. My heart goes out to you, your grandma and family.
You will truly be missed, but not forgotten. My condolences to your loved ones.
I will keep the family and Bobbi Kristina in my prayers. I am so very sorry for the untimely death of a much beloved singer. Your legacy will live on.
James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Whitney thank you for the gifts you left us. It's so unbelievable that you have passed on. But I say to God be the Glory for the marvelous things He has done. You truly were a gift of God and are sorely missed.
Dear Bobbi Kristina, if you ever happen to read this, please know that your mother adored you. I felt it in just looking at her photos and appearances from her pregnancy until pictures of you both the day before her death-she was with Bobbi Kris. ~sing Mommy
Let nothing people say tarnish the love that I know that you shared with her. I am so sorry for your loss Babygirl, but trust and believe, "Earth has no Sorrow that Heaven can't heal." It hurts, but He knows why. Hold on to His Unchanging Hands. Praying for you.
I will always love you!May you rest in peace,nothing but good members.for the family,I will pray for you.
As your family is saying their own personal good-byes to you this evening, I am in prayer for your family & friends. May God keep them in this difficult time and may you finally rest in the Fathers Arms forever.
Love you Always Whitney.
i miss whitney right now..she had a vice from heave,sand as an angel and shared her gift of singing as a saint..
she was clearly the greatest singing voice of all time...none of us would like to be judged for every moment of our lives..but how many of us can compare our best achievements to that of whitneys..
absence from the body equals presence with our LORD AND SAVIOR
JESUS CHRIST..whom is embracing whitney now and forever in his loving arms..
whitney,your music touched me since i heard it for the first time...and it ever shall..
i hope you knew how much you were loved ...we will miss you..prayers to your family...
I'd like to send our sincere condolences to the Houston family....RIP Whitney.
Gone, but never forgotten...
is missing a lot to miss and I am sure that all Brazilians also feel, for we are his fans since the lot and that God in his infinite goodness he receives in Peace .. Love you!
I couldn't believe the news, last week. I was driving back from California.. Then heard it..I have been sad ever since. You were apart of my soundtrack of coming of age,as we all have one. It's hard to put in all in words. I have your music to listen to when I need that feel good moment. Your body of work is a testament of your hard work and the gift from GOD above. In which we will have forever to hear you. When you get to heaven; you have a jam session with all the other musical greats that have left us. Have a peaceful journey. May the grace of GOD encourage and provide strength for the days, months, and years to come for the family, friends, and fans of Whitney Houston.
I remember singing "The Greatest Love of All" in my bedroom using my hairbrush as a microphone. She was the singer that I always wished I could be when I grew up. Her voice, it was so beautiful, truly a gift. The first date I ever went on was to see "The Bodyguard" it remains one of my favorite movies.
Whitney's songs have been the soundtrack to my life, and unlike so many unkind people who choose to criticize her for simply being human, I would like to remember the beauty she brought to so many by sharing her beautiful gift with the world.
As one of my friends so eloquently put it, "now Whitney is dancing with someone who really loves her" and though she will be missed, I understand why God wanted his angel with Him, and the music in heaven right now is certainly alot more beautiful since she arrived.
We love you Ms. Houston...Rest in Perfect Peace....
Whitney, the path will continue along to your music, you were safe you are and being a star in the firmament of our hearts
I would like to dedicate a poem to Whitney Houston Family and Friends. This poem also comes with a picture of Whitney Houston hovering over the church where her funeral service will be held. And the poem reads.
To My Family And Friends
Don't cry life in me has not died, I just went to meet the Heavenly Father in the sky and to let him know that life on earth was one bumpy ride and I enjoyed every minute with Jesus by my side. If I harmed any one on my way forgive for my earthly mistakes I was sent to earth to teach and learn a lesson now it's time for me to enjoy my heavenly blessings,although I'm going to miss my loving Mother,Daughter,Family and Friends I'll be in haven protecting and guiding as I once did. I will see all of you once aging today, tomorrow or next year when you think of me you will know I'm near
your Daughter,Mom,Family and Friend! Whitney Houston.

I miss you already....My heart go out to anyone that I'm made aware of that pass on. But the passing of you Whitney, affect me in ways that I wasn't aware of. But I know to be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord, and that is my comfort. Thanks for ministering to me through your music and also making me laught. You were funny in many ways, and I will never forget you and I will always love you.
To the family of this Beautiful Woman Of God:
I been praying for each of your strength and I know God has you cover. Keep leaning on Him. He NEVER put know more on us then we can bear. God knew you ALL are able to handle the passing of Whitney after the shock,tear,and pain. BUT after all is said and done, we ONLY had her here for a set amount of time. That time to us was to soon to come but PERFECT timing for God. Keep on singing His praise, praising Him everyday. He WILL give you that SUPERNATURAL strength to see you through.
LOVE YOU & GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Whitney you touch so many of our lives with your beautful voice, smile, your style. You inspired so many women and girls of all races and background. Whitney I hope you knew just how much you were loved and admired. I follow your career since 1985 when you made your first album Whitney and saving all my love for you and you give good love. You had me hooked on your voice from the first Album. You have so many songs I love to listen to. The body guard I can look at that movie everyday if I could and waiting to Exhale and don't forget the Preacher wife. You was so talented and beautiful. I seen you many time in concert but, I never met you. I felt so much pain and sadness of your passng. You is my favorite singer in the world I MEAN that. I think I am one of your biggest fans. I prayed for you Whitney when I used to hear about you in the news. I always prayed for the best for you that your struggles would end. I prayed that you would come back stronger than ever. I did not allow anyone to talk bad about you to me that was a no no. You were only human. We all make mistakes. I know you are in heaven singing beautiful songs for the lord now. I pray for your daughter Bobbi Christina, Your mother Cissy and your entire family and friends. We will always love you. My heart is very heavy and sad. I have cryed many tears since you pass away.

Whitney came and fulfilled her purpose and God called her Home. Our hearts are blessed and rest quietly in the precious memories of the VOICE that will never die. The beautiful melody of "I Look To You" says it all. God is in control. Let us not question, but be grateful for His fresh mercies every morning. Blessings!
Dear Whitney Houston,
I will never ever ever ever EVER forget you. I can not believe that you are not here with us any longer. I really really really miss you. You have ALWAYS and will ALWAYS be my favorite singer. I'm truly sad that you are gone. This hurts <3
I know that one day, I will get my chance to meet you - in heaven - I waited so long to meet you, but never did. I always hoped that one day, i'd get a chance to meet you. Well, God has you now and I take comfort in knowing that one day I too shall be with you and Jesus and all of the Christians in heaven. I dont care what NOBODY says, you were WONDERFUL to me, just a wonderful human being. May you finally get a chance to rest now. Rest in Peace Whitney - <3
Oh Whitney I miss you so much!!!!
As a young lady I use to work in a small town were everyone looked at me as little Whitney. The restaurant that I worked in adults and children would tell me you favor and before they could get it out I would say Whitney Houston (Oh Yes) they would say you do look like her. I would always get that from people all the times.
I grew up listening to Whitney's music and my heart goes out to her family and Ex-Husband. Little Bobbi God has his hands on your heart you will find peace in your mothers music. Whitney's arms will always be around her daughter.
I just thank GOD that she was a part of my life and how so many still tell me (you look like Whitney Houston) and I will always be a reminder of how special that she was to me and others that Love her so much!!!
My prayer:Lord be with the family because they yet to understand why this happen and yet others will gossip about what they think happen. But GOD I know that I will not question you because you have never made a mistake I just know that Whitney was ready to go home and rest from this world of trouble that we who live in will have to continue to fight the issues that sometime get the best of us. Lord again Bless the Family and give them Peace of mind!!! Amen

I bought your first and second albums, I used to sing in my bedroom - often told to be quiet - I wanted to be you, your voice brought so much happiness to my life. I could not sing for toffee! I sounded like a strangled cat! I taped you from the tv when you did the Nelson Mandela concert and everyday before I went to work I would sneak downstairs and watch it, it made me feel so happy. I am so sad your gone, WHY?, you paved the way and should have received more credit for that, no doubt the american tv companies will now say that, too little too late. I love you Whitney you were an amazing talent a true soul diva, a natural talent. May God rest your soul - I will never ever forget you, neither will the millions of fans that have your music, you touched me, your music was my youth, my twenties and so forth. I will always love you - RIP beautiful lady - you went to soonxxxxxxxxxxx
