      It matters not how she died, she was too young to go (only 48). Hopefully though, her tributes to the music and industry will live on in a positive way. She will be sadly missed. (I'll be 52 thos month, she was way too young to go..) R.I.P. Condolences to her family and friends.

      As tragic as her death is, I am not surprised that she passed as so young an age. The body, mind, and soul can only take so much. I am thankful that she is no longer in pain and that nobody can hurt her anymore.

      Rest now Whitney, and may flights of angels speed thee to thy rest. Your voice will only add to Heaven's chorus. You will be missed.

      My heart goes out to Bobbi Kristina. She and her mom seemed real close and I know she is hurting so bad right now. Only time will heal this wound and it will never go away completely. As long as she is around those that truly love her it will ease the pain.

      Peace out Whitney. I remember her debut album in 1985 and it blew my socks off. IShe and Sade were my favorite two female singers and the Whitney album had so many hits, such great songs to play in the clubs, in your home, in your car. Her death is as surprising as Michael Jackson. It is just so unreal. Life is so amazingly short. All you can wish for anyone is that they find peace in their life. Take care sister, you did your job on earth.

      I remember when her career began. Her songs were on the radio constantly and you never got tired of listening to them because that voice was mesmerizing. She made some bad choices in life, like all of us do, and dealt with her own demons but none of that should define her legacy. I hope that she is finally at peace now. I offer my sincerist

      I think Whitney Huston was one of the first voices I heard and loved at a verry young age. She was unbelievable, her voice, rich tone and control made every song come alive, an unmistakable golden voice that will be missed! R.I.P!

        YOU KNOW I THINK THAT WHITNEY'S DAUGHTER IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT, SHE HAS HER GRANDMOTHER, HER COUSIN DIONNE, AND GODMOTHER ARETHA FRANKLIN. SO YOU SEE SHE IS SURROUND BY GREAT INSPIRATION BESIDES THE BIGGEST INSPIRATION THAT SHE HAS LOST I JUST HOPE AND PRAY THAT SHE COMES OUT ON TOP FROM THIS TRAGEDY.
