We cannot blame Cissy Houston and the rest of Whitney Houston's family who now saying the funeral will be held private and only those whom receive an invitation will be allowed to attend. We have not appreciated all of the disrespect we have overheard in the press, regarding her death. Yes, we highly respect Cissy Houston's decision and she is so right, she has shared her daughter with the public for over 30 years, now it is the family's time to have Whitney Houston to themselves, especially in this time of bereavement. The unequal reaction, regarding Whitney's death reveals why the public does not deserve to sit in a public funeral, because Whitney Houston came out of her mother's womb and belongs to God, no one else.
We also want to thank Miss Cissy Houston for sharing her daughter with us for so long. We enjoyed all of those precious memories, Whitney's music made us fall in love in our younger days, when we thought we were in love and we appreciate those memories of her making us smile while watching 'Waiting to Exhale' and the, 'The Preacher's Wife.' How could any of us who listened to her songs or watch her in movies, betray our dear sister now? The spirit of betrayal is not of God and we cannot blame Cissy Houston for sheltering the superstar Whitney Houston's body from the public. We cannot imagine how it feels to remember carrying such a dynamic seed for 9 months, watch her grow up from a child, then into her teen years, then into her adult years as one who became a very unique soul to America. God gave Whitney Houston her beautiful voice and her beautiful features, not this cruel wicked world where many are only remembering her emotional struggles and flaws, they could never bless Whitney with her gift, only God. God gave her a beautiful voice to share with the world, along with her talent to act and now it is time her for her funeral to be finally held in the presence of those whom knew her best, not strangers.
May God bless Whitney Houston's family and may she forever rest in peace in the presence of Jesus Christ, the One who loves her best and does not remember her past like those whom are not true followers of Him.
If you desire to watch her pastor on a video clip, we have created a special page in her memory to watch the very church where she grew up in Newark, NJ. God bless you dear brothers and sisters and stay strong in the Lord.
