We are so shadowed by conflict, scandal and controversy that we forget to remember Whitney left behind a striking legacy and a heartbroken family. I will never forget when I graduated kindergarten at Alexander Montessori to her song "Greatest Love of All".
As they carried out her casket, they played her beloved "I Will Always Love You" and I could not help but tear up. As I watch everyone hug her mother and daughter each time they descend from and approach the altar, Whitney is once again humanized and we are reminded that she was a real person who loved and lost, who, herself, was loved and lost, and who will forever be loved but not lost.
God gave me a voice to sing with, and when you have that, what other gimmick is there?
