RIP Whitney Houston - A Major Influence and Icon Has Died

I just got a call from my mom, who knows how much I've loved Whitney Houston since I was a little girl, who told me about Whitney's passing. I can't even begin to express how sad the turn her life took has made me, but it's even more sad that it never turned back around before she passed at the young age of 48. I hope her daughter can learn from her mom's mistakes.... sigh.
Good-bye, Whitney. You were an amazing talent and you will be missed.
Whitney Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012)
Though this isn't my ultimate favorite song of hers, it is absolutely one of her most memorable and strangely a bit appropriate. So sad... :(
