@sinbach Whitney Houston. Even her beautiful funeral made me cry (it was happier than a regular Finnish worship service). I watched on YouTube a friend of hers telling about a meeting with her shortly before her death, how she was longing to live for the Lord and how she was touched by the Holy Spirit. I have watched two documentaries about her. I think it can help us not to judge her... ok she made bad and sinful choices, but at the same time she had always a relationship with the Lord. She was a victim of child abuse, and one of her female relatives, who used to babysit her and her brothers, sexually abused her. Then she was seduced by her best friend and had a lesbian relationship with her for a while. Her brother introduced her to drugs in her teens. Bobby Brown was not the best husband, and they were doing drugs together. At the same time she was put on a pedestal, and there were high expectations on her. She felt that she was never good enough - even if she was adored. Etc.

@tanjaostman Body Guard is one of my favorite movies and I LOVED Kevin Costners speech at her funeral. I do not know why, but I always thought Keven Costner and Whitney belonged together. Maybe that is the power of cinema? Because they were one of the best couples EVER - and no Bobby Brown was no good. no no good.
That was a sad day when she passed.
As Kevin Costner said - she was a song bird.
