Beyond Hearts and Flowers for Whitney Houston


Losing our beloved Whitney Houston then celebrating Valentine's Day all in one week was a little too much for many of us to cope with.

Still in the midst of our shock and grief of her passing we exchanged an array of brightly colored cards, balloons and flowers reminding us that we are in the splendor of life even after our loved ones have ascended.  We have been inspired because our lives have been touched and made fuller since they have walked amongst us.  Whitney's explosive voice reminded us that the greatest love of all is learning to love ourselves, thereby moving us to become more bountiful in our love of others.

Good Bye, Whitney Houston -- Jersey Girl, Mother, Daughter, Wife, Super Star, Vocalist Extraordinaire and ever so much more that you gave of yourself to us all.

Didn't we almost have it all with you in our lives?

  1. That was so well put it is hard to add to it. Whitney indeed will be missed. I have spent many hours enjoying her music and acting. Her voice was absolutely phenomenal. I have a hard time determining which of her songs was my favorite. I'm going to go with "My love is your love".

  2. I hadn't considered the proximity of "Love Day" to Whitney's death, but it makes sense, since it's love that helped her sing so powerfully, and it's love that will help her family and friends make peace with this loss.

  3. Whitney Houston was blessed with such a special gift. She was fortunate to have touched so many lives with her music. She will be missed, but her music will live on!!
