Just beautiful…
Amazing!!!! WE LUV YOU WHITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im still hurting by her untimely death. Ms. Houston you will forever be a positive impact in my life and I am thankful to have been able to sing to your music, win talent shows with your wongs, and never give up on my gift. gone but not forgotten.
Didn’t she have a brother? No mention of him in the obit?
All this NOW..and just a few days before her death you were calling her names and telling her to go to rehab?????
*smh* @ n*ggas & flies.
now that is VERY nice!!!!
Wow… not one picture of Bobby or her siblings! It’s like they didn’t exist in her life! At the end of the day, Bobby was her husband, good or bad and they have a child together. And I know she had at least had one brother, although I’ve read she had two. If I were her siblings I would be upset right now…
I saw quite a few mistakes!
Sorry, but I saw a lot of mistakes!
Sorry,I saw a lot of mistakes!
That’s really nice
Well done I wish I can attend her home going:(
this is beautiful.
Thanks to all the Staff@ Straight From The A, for keeping us Posted on Mrs. Houston’s Passing…God Bless and keep you all Safe….. R.I.P. Whitney We Love and Miss You!!
That is the most beautiful program I’ve ever seen
First of all I call bullshit on this "official" obituary…this makes no mention of her other siblings,grandparents,aunts uncles..nobody! They spent more time focusing on her music career than her family….who does that? This seems like a fan made this…I bet u my right ARM…
Is there anyway someone can order one and if so how.
This is a very meaningful obituary. The only other obituaries I have seen this meaningful were THE late Coretta Scott King THE late Rosa Parks, and Michael Jackson. MY GOD this seems unreal!!! May Whitney Elizabeth Houston rest and be with the Lord! I will be keeping her loved ones and ALL of us who REALLY loved her in my prayers.
The transition they used for her marriage to Bobby was insulting.
By 1992, whitney Houston was on top of the world. That year she married the R&B signer Bobby Brown, formerly of the group New Edition"
That’s as if to say that she WAS (key word) on top of the world. Furthermore it goes on to discredit the groups present state by stating that he’s "FORMERLY" of New Edition. Then who was he performing with the same day she died.
But I do give them kudos for inserting a picture of Whitney, Bobby and Bobbi Kristina.
Beautiful!!!
Beautiful!
Seen this early this morning about 1am. Very elegant and classy
Glad to see they didn’t omit Bobby from the pictures! Love it. She looks beautiful!
@ Mrs. B, maybe you should put some glasses on because there is a big as picture with her, Bobbi Kristina, and Bobby Brown together.
I really hate when people try and start unnecessry drama!!!
Once again y’all publishing lies and bullshit! MJ EDWARDS is a MEMPHIS funeral HOME! CHECK YO FACTS BEFORE YOU START POSTING SHIT! ITS A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE BUT THATS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!!! IM UNSUBSCRIBING TO THIS SITE AS HAVE MANY IF MY FRIENDS! YOUR CREDIBILITY HAS BEEN LOST IN WAKE OF MS HOUSTON’S DEATH!!
Was Whitney’s brother mentioned in the obituary?

Margaret j Detroit mi.
Goin out like true Diva
This isn’t the actual obituary… it was put together by a remarkable fan but it is VERY BEAUTIFUL and SO Whitney!!! <3
I don’t believe it is the Obituary. Several family members are left out as well as there is not order of service or a program.
Whitney, you left too soon but I know you are in Heavan with God. So now you can rest in God arms now. So long Whitney for now!
I LOVE YOU!!!!
Beautiful! I loved Whitney. If this is not the obituary it was still beautiful. I think she did what she was put on this earth to do"sing". She followed gods plan for her, not us. R.I.P Whitney
nice tribute to whitney!
MANY WILL GIVE ILL WILL COMMENTS ABOUT THIS GRACIOUS WOMAN BUT YOU KNOW GOD HAD A PLAN FOR MS HOUSTON AND WHEN IT WAS DONE HE TOOK HER HOME RIP SWEET ANGEL SING FOR THE LORD NOW….
THAT WAS FOR CELEBRITIES NOT HER FAMILY! WTF DO ALICIA HOMEWRECKING KEYS HAVE TO DO WITH HER LIVIN! IF ANYTHING ALICIA KEYS HELPED HER GO CRAZY WITH CLIVE DAVIS TRYING TO REPLACE WHITNEY WITH ALICIA AND JENNIFER! IT COULDV’E BEEN BETTER, HELL I’VE SEEN BETTER!
Today a beautiful woman will be laid to rest. Many will cry, many will ask why, and some will not even care. To everything there is a lesson, to everything there are answers. This beautiful woman is home now forever. No more pain, no more worries. This beautiful woman is with God.
Rest in Peace Whitney Elizabeth Houston
I love love Love it
This was beautiful!My son drove to her church late Thursday night to show his support and and left flowers.I hope to spend the day watching CNN’s funeral coverage.
RIP ,I will always love u and miss u dearly you have make your mark in history,Job well done. Sing with the angels girl,sing your heart out….xoxoxox
Folks this is not the real obituary whitneys funeral home is in new jersey this was done by mj edwards funeral home in memphis tennessee. They said it was to honor whitney but I’m sure folks tryn make money off her death which is sad. Olease know her mom would never release her obituary over internet before her service. Come on people think!!!
What I find most insulting is that this is circulating over the internet as a true copy of whitney. If this was to honor whitney why is the back of the obituary provide names of the funeral home and company that provided this copy. It really sickens me. RIP Whitney you will always be like no other in the business! You were a true beauty and honor in the industry. The world will know now what an angel we had in you….rest peacefully
We must all remember people will always talk about and dwell in the negativity of others. People talked about Jesus, but what did he do. In the moment of all the hate he died for us all. Let’s all try to focus on all the love we saw in Whitney. All of her music was based on loving another being, each time she sang i could feel her loving spirit. That is what i will always rember of her. R.I.P. Whitney and may your sweet angelic voice remain in our hearts and souls 4-ever.
It is a "tribute" and a very nice one at that. To the person that said it "sickens" you, why? I think whoever did it cared for the singer and wanted to honor her. Look at it for what it is and leave it at that. Some of you people are crazy!
To Whitney Houston Family, May she rest in peace, I will always love you no mater what. You are the queen of the Niles. Love you Whitney
I will always love you no matter what. God Bless to the Houston and Brown family. RIP
We will always miss you Whitney may you rest in peace love you Whitney.May pray go to the family Houston and Brown god bless you Whitney RIP
Real orbituary or not,it’s beautiful and any names or faces people are looking for is important because of what? What is there left that you need to see or know now? If her brother’s name is not mentioned please don’t be alarmed. He was mentioned during her funeral and his wife,her sister-in-law (and personal manager) also spoke at her service. So I’m sure that she and her brother were on good terms.And above all,this was about HER.
looks a little ghetto
To Whitney Houston family she was loved by so many people even me.Her music comfort me when I was alone and made me happy when I was sad.Whitney will live on through her family;fans and music and also friends.She was an Angel on earth.Now she is an Angel in Heaven.R.I.P.Whitney.
This is NOT the official obituary of Whitney Houston. It is, however, very beautiful. Some company in TN (Memorial Keepsakes) put it together and put a funeral home in TN (MJ Edwards) name on the back of the obituary. I spoke with the woman at the funeral home and she was shocked they had her funeral home on the back of this obituary. Whigham Funeral Home in NJ had Whitney’s body, as the family stated and they are the funeral home that picked up Whitney’s body a the airport. Like I said, Memorial Keepsakes did a great job, but this is NOT the official obituary.
This post really needs to be corrected as an "unauthorized memorial program". Not only are there errors, but Whigham’s Funeral Home in Newark NJ did her official Obit and funeral-not M.J. Edwards in Memphis Tenn.
Pictures are nice and program put together wonderfully, however i know 1st hand that Carol Whigham will not outsource their service needs for Obituaries.
Whitney Houston always knew, Jesus loves her! She lost faith on herself, she lost the earthly battle, but she never let go off our LORD! In the last minutes of her breath, she held on to the one and only almighty, the omnipotent. Our Lord have unlimited power, and me, and you, and her…will be spared in the deepest of our despair. All we have to do is BELIEIVE!
We all will be saved. All we have to do is BELIEVE!
The good Lord is magnanimous and loves his children, we are all his perfect creation.
I know her soul won’t be trapped between worlds, will not be earthbound, it won’t be floating in a void of nothingness, unconscious or lost…all the addiction to the physical world and the negativity, that held and kept you confined, will be released.
Whitney Elizabeth Houston, you are soon to wake up in the arms of our maker, all the exhaustion and heaviness, the load, that you gathered on earth, will be washed away, we all will be praying for you everyday sweet songbird. Peace be your Journey!
Whitney you are one of my biggest fans and I really admire you to the fullest I miss you very much. I was looking to see you I was hoping you come to Detroit Michigan to perform. But I can’t see you now. You are up there with the Angels I know you are looking down on your friends, family, and fans they really miss you. My prayers goes out to your family…. I love you Guys ! The most precious of all Bobbi Kristini love baby you always be in my prayers. My favorite song of all times is: I will always love you! That is my favorite song I sing it all the time
R.I.P IN PARADISE WHITNEY HOUSTON
