I am sure the Winans shared with Whitney their faith and she was baptized in the Jordan River, and let me tell you I know in my heart that she knew about the "Holy Ghost", she new her life was a mess at times, and she would talk to her friends and tell them her problems, and then say, but God can help me with this, I had coverage from all over the map, to her last interview with Oprah, and the facts about her failed comeback. She could no longer maintain that 5 octive range, because of the ravages of drug abuse. I feel for her daughter, who was her whole life. We need to pray that she does not go down the path of drugs and alcohol. She was hospitalized twice before the funeral, her mother is gone, and her father I think is a danger to her, in the sense that he has and still does have drugs in his home life. 18 and your anchor is gone, I pray that she turns to God, and stays with Cissy Houston, her Grandmother, and that she herself does not become a victim of this sensless death. I thought I would hear that she had died of an overdose of illegal drugs, and they are saying they are perscribed. I myself have had to take zanex, but I have never tasted alcohol..according to the M.E. this is what does it. We will have to wait and see the strength and how many she took, and I know they already know, they knew what was in her system the next day. It's just standard practice that they wait 6 weeks. If you saw the Winans you know they were tight with Whitney, especially Be Be and Ce Ce, she wanted to go on tour with them and sing back up, when she was famous, everyone laughed. She was an amazing Talent and will be missed at least by me.
