‘I am heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend, the incomparable Whitney Houston. My heartfelt condolences to Whitney’s family and to all her millions of fans throughout the world. She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest voices to ever grace the earth.’ ~Mariah Carey

The tributes continue to pour in for the late Whitney Houston. She touched millions with her truly amazing voice. She could hit the high notes and hold them like no other singer. Her fans will treasure many albums and an endless list of hit songs. While she brought so much happiness to others it was such a pity that she struggled to find personal happiness herself. Being a celebrity and having loads of money is never a guarantee to inner happiness. She turned to drink and drugs for comfort but sadly they became a slippery slope for which she could find no comeback. Many of her lyrics spoke about life and where she was. One of her songs called ‘Jesus Is Love’ particularly stands out. Some of the lyrics in this song are worth mentioning: “Jesus loves me, this I know, for the bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong, they are weak but he is strong. Always guide me, Lord I pray, never fail to love me still. I’m never alone. See, sometimes I’m lonely but never alone, no. See, I know that he loves me, whether I’m right, whether I’m wrong, oh yes indeed, Jesus loves me.” May she rest in peace.
