Sadness for the world...again

My dad turned 75 on Feb. 11, 2012. on that day we are in horror to find out that an icon of the music industry, Whitney Houston, at age 48, is found dead in her hotel room. How does this happen? She was an amazing singer, who became engulfed in the all to common story of fame that lead her into drug abuse and eventually to her demise. I am sad beyond words, why does this happen to these amazing people who have brought us such joy and entertainment. I grew up listening to Whitney, through the highschool years, singing with my family, we all wanted to be her. How does the fame ane money lead them into the lives of destruction. She was flawless, beautiful, and sang like no one else we know. I hope that young artists of today learn from this...let us all remember how great she was and in her time of glory. God keep her and her family in your prayers.
