Whitney, only four days ago I stumbled across an article with a very disturbing title... and they posted some photos which were meant to degrade you.
I said to myself really loudly - "LEAVE WHITNEY ALONE". I wanted to post a Facebook status saying this, but I didn't want to draw attention to the article.
Two days ago when I woke up to read the news of your passing, I was devastated, shocked, so upset and regretful that I did not post that status update or tweet it.
Whitney, your life may have been troubled, but there was no denying your talent, your voice, your womanhood and your life as a loving mother and strong believer in God.
So today I published this in remembrance of the good times and your happiest moments.....
Whitney Elizabeth Houston
(August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012)
Your discography consisted of seven studio albums, four compilations, and three soundtrack albums, as well as fifty-three singles.
An amazing musical accomplishment.

The saddest part about your death, besides the fact that you will no longer be here with us, is the fact that you died alone and that your Bobby is now without you. I will pray she takes solace in knowing you are in a better place re-united with the God you loved so much and in the memories she shared with you.
I will pray that you rest in peace eternally.
Thank you for your devotion to the music and your consistent passionate delivery of every song.
We will ALWAYS LOVE YOU WHITNEY.
