I can only add that Legend Whitney Houston taught a lot of us,To give love so dearly to others, through her music.
I have shared so much memories with my friends growing up, "I will always love you" was the best song in our music books.
I remember when I was thirteen me and a friend,
We risckly went near a river just after a flood to pretend to be Whitney, singing "I will always love you".I must say we realy loved the experience of being Whitney for that day.
Rest in peace Legent Whitney Houston.
