    Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin to Perform at Whitney Houston's Funeral

    When Whitney Houston is laid to rest on Saturday, she will receive an all-star tribute. Both Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder are confirmed to perform at the singer's memorial service in Newark, New Jersey, a spokesperson for the Houston family told Reuters today.

    The service will take place at noon at the New Hope Baptist Church, where Houston attended and performed in her youth. Newark Police Director Samuel DeMaio anticipates thousands of fans attending and has urged people to watch the ceremony from home, as it will be streamed online and broadcast on network television.

    Police have also issued subpoenas for Houston's medical records after the discovery of prescription drugs in the Beverly Hills hotel suite where Houston died on Saturday, at age 48. An initial autopsy has been conducted, but the details have not been released. The Los Angeles Coroner's office has called this standard prodecure.

      Whitney Houston will be sadly missed. In her church there won't be a dry eye & around the world there won't be a dry eye. She's in a better place & won't suffer any more. She's with God & her Dad. I'll be praying for her daughter & her family.

      I just wanted to express my thanks to Whitney, as her voice brought a joyful thunder to my heart.
      She was always full of life and those who have distorted her "recent" actions as out of control need to take a good look at themselves. When we have a couple of drinks, we all tend to magnify our personalities. She gave us her all,every step of the way.
      It is time to let her rest in peace and pray her family will be able endure the pain.

      Im very upset at all the negativity a woman that many loved is now gone, the only thing is to judge her grow up and get a life God can only do that. We all need to give respect to her and her family despite what she have done. We all make mistake's we are all perfect in Gods eyes know your Bible .

      Look whoever u are look at the facts she might not have been a good person on drugs but she was a good woman and she did alot of good things in her life and that is a fact do your reserch. Stop judging people's sins we all have them and nobody is perfect but in God's eye's and that what matter's not ur ignorance.

      To the Family I pray that God will wrap His arms around you. I will never forget her voice and her smile. I used to always say that I wanted to meet her when I grow up. But that is ok at least I got a chance to hear Her sing. I love you Whitney and may you rest in peace.
