Ridiculing.

The world is motionless, lamenting the hasty demise of Whitney Houston.

An apposite “homegoing” ceremony occurred on Saturday, February 18, 2012 at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ where family and close-friends collected to remember “Nippy” in a memory she would have adored.

Kevin Costner, mentor Clive Davis, Tyler Perry, recording artist Alicia Keys, R.Kelly, close-friend Kim Burrell, The Winans family, assumed boyfriend Ray J & sister Brandy, Sparkle co-star Jordin Sparks, T.D Jakes, Rvnd. Jesse Jackson were abreast for the service, among mother Cissy, cousin Dionne Warwick, and daughter, Bobbi Kristina. Ex-husband Bobby Brown was approved to attend, but caused a ruckus when ushers inquired his children to orient to a pew further rear. He then puckered a kiss against her exquisite bronze casket, hauled out his goodbye and absconded the church. Aside from that misfortune, I can avow the memorial was heart wrenching as the singer laid to rest.

Crazy as a bed bug, an uncouth being that was enabled to view the body prior to the funeral, shamefully sold a glimpse of Whitney sleeping to the press. Seemingly, only family and some other chums were granted consent to see her one last time. The person still unidentified, surely seen dollar signs and later down the line will bear the karma for this mockery. What goes around certainly shifts right back around.

Also, two days ago at Publix checkout after grocery shopping, I turned to scrutinize the

facade of a paper magazine where a snapshot of Whitney lying lifeless swathed in a towel

inside a bathtub appeared. Instantly, my stomach was churning in disgust at the audacity of the frivolous media to illustrate her in the wrong frame. This should sustain a lawsuit!

Etta James, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson were victims of the repeated repugnant act.

RIP.
