This woman’s record label should of had a big beautiful grave stone. She made them millions probably billions. Shame on them yes she had a addiction but this woman’s voice was like no other a legend. She’s still making them money this is truly sad.
The first Whitney Houston album I ever bought was "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and I played it constantly. I had all of her movies and my 2 favorites are "Waiting To Exhale" and "The Preacher's Wife". She was one of a kind. I am so glad you got to spend so much time paying your respects to her and Bobbi Christina. It looks like they are taking excellent care of the graves.
A legend who should be remembered for her voice, talents, & beauty. She was a good person taken too soon. I grew up in a town nearby & have family members buried in that cemetery. I have never known her grave to be off limits. Incredible life achievements & now may she RIP with her daughter.🙏🏻
Glad to hear you didn’t have issue. I want to visit her next week and now am anxious about doing so. Dealing with security ruins the mood of paying my respects. Hopefully it goes well for me.
Hi ! One of my favorite singer's of all time ! A good actress as well ! Beautiful lady ,so sad she passed young and in tragic circumstances. I'm glad you were able to visit her grave and her daughter's. A very nice vlog of a great voice . Thanks again for all your great vlogs! Take care . Deborah Manitoba Canada
She was like Hank Williams Sr...He struck the World of Music with his Great Talent before leaving this world happy for his great music, but saddened by his early departure. RIP Whitney.
I'm from Somerset County New Jersey, I kept my horses❤🐎 down the road from where she lived in Mendham New Jersey, I'm about 20 minutes from where the cemetery is 🌹💔😭 2:21
Glad you could visit Chris! Whitney had one of the greatest voices of all time! Very sad she passed so young! Also her poor daughter Bobbi Kristina! Thanks for sharing! 💕
I'm so thankful that you've shared this video. It's much better than a pic to see how her last place is. Her grave is way too simple and not well mantained. I'm shocked. I'd love to clean it up and place nice flowers there for her. RIP, Mrs. Houston. You've been and will always be one of a kind.
So many talents leave a hole on this planet. they leave an unfinshed legacy. whitney had a great voice. its sad her daughter passed not many years after.
Whitney's mom, Cissy Houston, who is also Dionne Warwick's aunt, sang gospel all thru her career, including singing backup with the "Sweet Inspirations" for Elvis Presley during his comeback 1969-70, and a whole line of entertainers. Cissy's vocals were on a lot of records in the 1960s and 70s.
I mentioned at the end of the live chat that I was surprised that she didn't have such a big headstone. I pictured something large and more elaborate. Same for Bobbi Kristina. Thanks for sharing. It's a really good video and well presented.
Such a humble stone for such a huge talent who changed the world of music forever. In death, and in life, I feel like she deserved better! Seing Bobbi Kris's stone right next to hers is doubly hard to swallow. I trust they are now both at peace and free of all the suffering of this world inflicts. R.I.P.
Exactly my thoughts. They are in the Hands of God now but Whitney's resting place looks realy poor. Her Picture is almost unrecognizable and there is not a word from Jesus, just a title of one of Her Songs. It looks like It cost under thousand US Dollars. She deserved much better. They should have spend at least one or two hundret thousand Dollars for Her Gravesite with a Statue of Her. She made $250 million. But who are we to complain.
Thank you for giving a very loving tribute to "The Voice" ... It is very much appreciated by me that you highlighted the good times more so than the bad! ... Thank you! 💎 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️
Her daughters headstone is better than hers! That picture doesnt even look like her! What a shame with that voice and all that she has accomplished in her short life
Another excellent video! You do such a good job and you are so respectful of your subjects. Whitney had an awesome voice and it was so sad when she passed. We lost a great talent! Thank you, Chris!
Actually it's true. Whitney's grave was guarded by private security for a while. The family wanted no one near it. Then a few years ago the security was relaxed, probably canceled.
Actually Whitney grave is not off limit, the problem was people were videoing and using spirit boxes. Things they should not of. Actually her father is buried back there too. All they ask is people be respectful, it got worse after Bobby Christina passed. Please her daughter died in hospice. We need be more careful about what we hear and don't know. Alledgely it was not Bobby brown but one of Whitney's brothers that introduced her to the hard stuff. She was shy. Her game was instant. It turned out to be the worse thing that could of happened. Now that story he admitted giving her. Her brother. You can look it up. Not everybody can handle drugs. Some get hooked easy..I can only imagine the pressure she was under. There's no proof her daughter did drugs. Once you are put into a induced coma. The only medicine in your system is what the drs assign. I'm not dwelling on why or how she died, but the fact she lived, gave us good music. Fact she was human, made mistakes like everybody else. I'm not talking to you Chris. Just what I saw on live. Some times we don't know fact from fiction. It's easy to get caught up in what we hear that may or may not be true. Thank you for going, pay respect to Whitney. Yes we have been there several times, to pay respect to Whitney, her daughter and her father. ✌️👍 Rip to Whitney, Bobbi Christina, and Mr John. Whitney's father. . 🕊️🌻🦋🌠. Love, respect and positivity always. Vee James.
Sad ending to a wonderful singer. I still remember when it came on the news. I was in a hotel where I had been staying with my dad in Oklahoma City where he had been taking cancer treatments. Some things like this I can remember where I was and what I was doing at the time.
Oh I Love her. Watched her on MTV. I Hope someday I can visit her grave. I have a lot of her music and listen to her all the time. Thank You for this video. You did an Amazing Job👍❤🙏
PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO GO PAY YOUR RESPECTS TO WHITNEY HOUSTON! So my father and I are massive Whitney Houston fans, we wanted to pay our respects to her by visiting her gravestone which is located at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield New Jersey, my father and I made the mistake of calling the cemetery to ask if we were allowed to visit Whitney Houstons grave, the woman who answers the phone goes by the name Carol, she was polite at first and said that per the families request the grave was "off limits" We both understood that, and asked questions such as whether or not the grave was restricted, and gated, the woman then developed a sort of nasty attitude towards us and we just hung up. The office will not tell you anything about where in the cemetery her grave is, dont trust google maps directions to her gravestone either, they set the wrong location for her gravestone on purpose to make tourists think they got the wrong cemetery or something like that, Whitney's grave is not off limits or restricted at all! If any staff tells you that they are lying to try and lure you away! I havent been there myself yet, I will probably go the next time I see my grandparents, but one thing is for sure do not let any staff at the cemetery know you are planning to go visit Whitney, I read a review of a woman who went to pay her respects and security surrounded her car and followed her, which I dont think its right because Whitney was loved by many people and the fact that us fans arent even allowed to pay respect to her, her daughter, and her father? I understand the family doesnt want it to be extremely overcrowded, but it is not like her grave gets millions of people per day and is flocked by paparazzi, at most its probably like 5 people a week. So I am trying to figure out what this cemetery's issue is.Also, judging by this video and other pictures/videos ive seen, this cemetery totally neglects these graves. Despite the fact that Whitney was a worldwide superstar, the scattered decorations, dried up, dead soil, does not give a good impression on the people who clean this cemetery, also, as I was looking at pictures of Whitneys grave which were published on Google reviews, I noticed a picture of all 3 graves, Whitney, Bobbi Brown, and Whitneys father, the gravestones look completely blank! The writing and pictures have all completely faded by the looks of it! Now since these pictures werent taken today, but rather a month ago, maybe the cemetery decided to do something about it and re-engrave the letters, but I am assuming since a month is really not that long that they probably didnt do anything, also based on other peoples reviews who go to this cemetery not to see Whitney but to see their own loved ones, it appears those graves are just as neglected. I wonder how dissapointing it will be for all Whitney fans on her birthday in August who come here to leave flowers to either be denied access, be given an attitude towards, or to see her grave in such a neglected state. I see people complaining about her grave being "modest" and like the other graves in the cemetery, but that was upon Whitneys request, although she was a superstar she wanted to be treated like any other person, I feel like if she wanted to, her mother Cissy Houston would have definitley gotten her a bigger and much better headstone, but unlike others, I like the headstone, despite its small appearence, its a nice, simple way to express and show who Whitney really was, rather than if she got a massive monument, it expresses how even though Whitney was famous, she was still no different than any other human being. That being said, I hope this cemetery starts to handle all of these neglected graves, and hopefully begins to allow small groups of people to pay their respects at certain times. Fairview Cemetery, please, do better. Rest in Peace Whitney Elizabeth Houston, and Happy early birthday. :(
The tragic loss of Whitney and then her daughter Bobby Kristina were heartbreaking. Her movie "The Bodyguard is my favorite . I think Whitney should have the best single of all time period not just for a female. You are right, it is not how she died that should take center stage but how she lived and the incrediable legacy she left this world.
I loved Whitney Houston. She was beautiful, and it was a shock when I heard she died. She had a terrific singing voice, and she is sorely missed by her fans all over the World. Rest in Peace Whitney Houston. 💖
Good job Chris but I am appalled at the poor condition of Whitney's grave! It looks very poorly maintained and needs some TLC. Plastic rubbish strewn about, no grass just dirt, poor cheap garden stone border, etc. Whitney deserves more respect!
After watching her movie I wanna dance with somebody and seeing this grave for a super star the one the name THE VOICE I really realized and confirmed that Her family members lead Her to this death and they are not organized people. I'm so sad seeing this please people you can do better fix Her grave. Her friends and her close surrounding please Go fix this. Rest in perfect Peace Whitney Elizabeth Houston 🕊️
Hello .... I must say as a personal Body guard of my late friend NIPPY, My heart feels so lost for we each owe a death, but my friend has gone way too soon. I remember Bobby Pulling up to church in their beautiful baby blue Bently and Bobby Christina was just a little thing as he fumbled for his keys he placed her in my arms she was so small so tiny and Whitney knew that she was safe as she just gazed from across the car. Whtiney and I had nice talks in the basement of that old church, I wish we could just go back there.... Rest well Nippy 1 much love.
1-31-24 I watched a documentary on Whitney. It said the gravesite was opened to the public to pay your respect. I went to the office to get some assistance. They refused to assist me.Said that the family wants to keep it private. According to the layout on the area she's lay to rest you can visit it without a problem. Just know you will have to find it on your own. Its an unrestricted area. Just google it ! I grew up with Nippy & half brother Gary. We will always love her ❤🎉 Rip🙏 "Nippy
🎼Yes Whittdocs, a talent like Whitney's doesn't come around very often, that's for sure!!!! I blame Bobby for ALOT of what happened to her. I mean, she was a somewhat innocent when she met him, and a few years later, it was TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!! As far as Whitney's Headstone, I don't know, I thought she'd have some ELABORATE Mausoleum or something. You never know. Thanks again, and I'm GLAD hers and Bobbi Kristina's graves weren't "OFF LIMITS"!!!!
@@Kamya066 Oh, PLEAZE, get a LIFE!!!! She told Barbara Walters about the CRAP Brown would do. And how they would do drugs together!!!! And what does being a fan of hers have to do with Whitney's brother ?! That's just IGNORANT!!!!
No you get a life cause you don't know nothing about Whitney yes they did do drugs together but he didn't start her on them and she did things to him and he did things to her you know nothing and like I said if you were a true fan you would know that but you don't carry on
@@libertygiveme1987 check out the interview Whitney's mother and brother did with Oprah after her passing. Her brother states that he, not Bobby, introduced Whitney to drugs(first Marijuana then cocaine) in her late teens early twenties. It's on RUclips, but may be in clips.
Many famous folks have modest headstones so that's fine. It's what we do when alive that is our legacy. She was a remarkable talent. Not a very good likeness of her on the stone however.
Very lovely voice and just extremely popular. It’s probably best to remember these folks for accomplishments, but it’s sadly her addiction was just so public and the rest of her marriage issues. I’m sure she was probably a nice person too and had an abundance of talent. Tragic ending, yet another gone too soon. I was expecting something more elaborate but maybe she had mentioned nothing special at sometime during her life, who knows. As for Bobbi Christina, I found her death just so sad. I sure prayed she’d pull though, just a kid really as well as pretty strange “story” behind her death. Ironic. Thanks for stopping by though, and taking us along. She’s certainly exceptional and I’m sure missed greatly by her family, let ‘lone her friends and fans.
It is so tragically ironic that Bobbi Kristina was also found dead in a bath tub. I remember the day Whitney died. My Dad told me he saw it on the news that they had found her dead. Little did I know that just 9 months later my Dad would be dead of lung cancer. He was diagnosed in August of 2012 and passed away in November of 2012.
Whitney's mother Cissy (a talented singer in her own right; she sang with noted bacup vocalists Sweet Inspirations) is still with us. Brother Gary Garland was a basketball player at DePaul U. when the school was good in the 80s. He would sing the National Anthem at games.
What a modest monument considering how famous she was. Thanks for sharing this Chris. Also thank you for mentioning that it was Dolly Parton who wrote and performed I will Always Love You. So many people give Whitney the credit.
Yes Whitney Houston was one of my favorite singers like Lionel Richie bc I listened to both of great singers whittdocs...... thanks for sharing and great video too....👍👍
you just have to be respectful and polite dont sound entitled. when talking to cemetery staff. visited a grave in a private cemetery that others have had trouble gaining access to. but had no trouble
WHITNEY HOUSTON WAS THE BEST SING , WHO GOING TO SOON , WE , WILL MISS HER VOCIE , HER GOOD LOOKING FACE , HER MUSIC WE WILL PLAY ON ARE CD PLAY , WE LOVE HER MISS HER MAY SHE REST IN PEACE , ARE QUEEN , OF ARE HEART , 💋🖤💜💙💞💖💌❤🔥💔🙏👣❤💌
They said at her funeral Dionne Warwick is her Aunt. 'The Bodyguard' was a great movie. So much going for her and she just couldn't stay away from the drugs. So sad. May she RIP alongside her daughter.
Her grave stone is very ordinary, but it's the person that is in this sacred plot of Earth that is the true richness. I cannot afford to go there from UK but I would love to pay my respects. She is with her God now at peace. Jon, Stapleford, Nottingham, England.
How could they have her grave off limits without blocking the families of those buried close by from visiting the graves of their loved ones? She is hardly in an isolated area. I doubt anyone is going to attempt to dig her up.
@Nick Hipsher - Not sure why they are upset about someone taking a photo of the grave. Maybe they should have buried her in a private cemetery somewhere with no public access if they get that upset about it.
Can you please confess at which Avenue of the Cemetery she's buried? It's very important for us fans to know this once we'll be able to travel to there and visit her. Thanks!
This woman’s record label should of had a big beautiful grave stone. She made them millions probably billions. Shame on them yes she had a addiction but this woman’s voice was like no other a legend. She’s still making them money this is truly sad.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
There's the possibility that's not what Whitney wanted.
I think it's a beautiful headstone.
I'm thinking this was hee family's decision. Her father was buried here
I don’t get why they have the music note on her daughters and not hers. I agree they could’ve done something way nicer for her
I am really shocked for being such a super star as she was, her being buried in such a modest grave!
Her grave is simple to comply with cemetery rules. She was buried in a gold plated casket.
She was buried next to her father and her grave is filled with cement so nobody can't rob her grave.
@@nicolesands3209 what?! really? Cement? Where did you hear that?
I would have figured she would be in a mausoleum
Yeah...she is by her Dad
The first Whitney Houston album I ever bought was "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and I played it constantly. I had all of her movies and my 2 favorites are "Waiting To Exhale" and "The Preacher's Wife". She was one of a kind. I am so glad you got to spend so much time paying your respects to her and Bobbi Christina. It looks like they are taking excellent care of the graves.
When I Hear I want to dance makes me want to Get up.and wine up my backside 🕺🏾😂🤣😭
Seen her twice in concert and was in awe both times, I still find it difficult to believe she is gone.
Me a my friend at work was just saying that same thing today😔
She’s a beautiful person.
I bet that was epic
I was an Extra in the Preacher's wife
A legend who should be remembered for her voice, talents, & beauty. She was a good person taken too soon. I grew up in a town nearby & have family members buried in that cemetery. I have never known her grave to be off limits. Incredible life achievements & now may she RIP with her daughter.🙏🏻
She was absolutely a stunning, talented lady. It broke my heart when she died.
I don't know why but I kind of expected her gravesite to be a bit grander. Such a simple plot for such a legendary artist.
I said that too in the live chat. Really was surprised how minimal it is
Her daughter’s is nicer in my opinion.
Whitney was a Jersey Girl
Glad to hear you didn’t have issue. I want to visit her next week and now am anxious about doing so. Dealing with security ruins the mood of paying my respects. Hopefully it goes well for me.
Hi ! One of my favorite singer's of all time ! A good actress as well ! Beautiful lady ,so sad she passed young and in tragic circumstances. I'm glad you were able to visit her grave and her daughter's. A very nice vlog of a great voice . Thanks again for all your great vlogs! Take care . Deborah Manitoba Canada
One of my favourites. Thank you for your thoughtful coverage of her life
I really appreciate that Michele.
She was like Hank Williams Sr...He struck the World of Music with his Great Talent before leaving this world happy for his great music, but saddened by his early departure. RIP Whitney.
That's so awesome that you were able to visit her grave!!! They'll never be another Whitney Houston. 80s music is the best! Thanks for sharing.
I'm from Somerset County New Jersey, I kept my horses❤🐎 down the road from where she lived in Mendham New Jersey, I'm about 20 minutes from where the cemetery is 🌹💔😭 2:21
Glad you could visit Chris! Whitney had one of the greatest voices of all time! Very sad she passed so young! Also her poor daughter Bobbi Kristina! Thanks for sharing! 💕
Excellent video. Thank you for this very respectful coverage
You’re most welcome
I'm so thankful that you've shared this video. It's much better than a pic to see how her last place is. Her grave is way too simple and not well mantained. I'm shocked. I'd love to clean it up and place nice flowers there for her. RIP, Mrs. Houston. You've been and will always be one of a kind.
She was and always be the greatest female singer of all time and will be missed but not forgotten
So happy you made it to my home state.Great video!!
This is the first I have seen of her gravesite and it is surprising that he marker is not more elaborate. Very tragic tale of her and her daughter.
My favorite song is her singing The Star Spangled Banner best rendition I've ever heard and brought me to tears
So many talents leave a hole on this planet. they leave an unfinshed legacy. whitney had a great voice. its sad her daughter passed not many years after.

It doesn’t surprise me, her dads and others in the cemetery have a similar sized headstone. Some have restrictions on what kind of stone you can have
@@Weatheredstorms1 I didn't know that. Good to know.
Such a humble stone for such a huge talent who changed the world of music forever. In death, and in life, I feel like she deserved better!

I greatly and truly thank you for this comment.
Thank you for posting this!❤
Her music was incredible. Her death was a shock to everyone. Love you were able to shoe her resting place in New Jersey. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing this. You forgot to mention that Whitney Houston's mother was a back up singer for Elvis Presley
Why would her family not give her a proper grave? Her father's headstone is nicer than hers
A legend! And lucky you to get that video 👍🏼 Rest In Peace, Whitney.
So sad to see her, an icon’s final resting place look like that.
Im starting to think her family may have actually buried her else where
Course they did in the famous graveyard
How can they stop you from visiting a grave in a cemetery especially if her grave isn’t separated away from everyone else
Her daughters headstone is better than hers! That picture doesnt even look like her! What a shame with that voice and all that she has accomplished in her short life
Another excellent video! You do such a good job and you are so respectful of your subjects. Whitney had an awesome voice and it was so sad when she passed. We lost a great talent! Thank you, Chris!
Actually it's true. Whitney's grave was guarded by private security for a while. The family wanted no one near it. Then a few years ago the security was relaxed, probably canceled.
Money issues🤔
What a sad ending to a beautiful voice
Very sad. She passed away way too young. Amazing voice. I am shocked her tombstone wasn't bigger.
No matter what she still has fans whether she's alive or not people would love to pay their respects to her....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Actually Whitney grave is not off limit, the problem was people were videoing and using spirit boxes. Things they should not of. Actually her father is buried back there too. All they ask is people be respectful, it got worse after Bobby Christina passed. Please her daughter died in hospice. We need be more careful about what we hear and don't know.

Love, respect and positivity always. Vee James.
I remember this very well 🥲 Thank you so much for sharing this 🙏
You’re very welcome.
Whitney would be horrified if she could only know her daughter is already beside her.
I really thought she would be put somewhere grander.
She has such a beautiful voice she is definitely going to be missed
Sad ending to a wonderful singer. I still remember when it came on the news. I was in a hotel where I had been staying with my dad in Oklahoma City where he had been taking cancer treatments. Some things like this I can remember where I was and what I was doing at the time.
Oh I Love her. Watched her on MTV. I Hope someday I can visit her grave. I have a lot of her music and listen to her all the time. Thank You for this video. You did an Amazing Job👍❤🙏

PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO GO PAY YOUR RESPECTS TO WHITNEY HOUSTON!
So my father and I are massive Whitney Houston fans, we wanted to pay our respects to her by visiting her gravestone which is located at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield New Jersey, my father and I made the mistake of calling the cemetery to ask if we were allowed to visit Whitney Houstons grave, the woman who answers the phone goes by the name Carol, she was polite at first and said that per the families request the grave was "off limits" We both understood that, and asked questions such as whether or not the grave was restricted, and gated, the woman then developed a sort of nasty attitude towards us and we just hung up.

So sad she passed away. That movie with Kevin Costner, so many great songs. A great loss 😥🙏🏻
Thanks as always, Nancy.
I loved Whitney Houston. She was beautiful, and it was a shock when I heard she died. She had a terrific singing voice, and she is sorely missed by her fans all over the World. Rest in Peace Whitney Houston. 💖
THAT GRAVE STONE IS VERY SMALL. COMPARED TO A POWERFUL VOICE SHE HAD THATS HOW MUCH HER FAMILY LOVED HER? All ABOUT GREED OF HER MONEY! HOW SAD😢😦
Another incredibly great talent, passed away far too young because of drug abuse..what a shame! 😒 RIP
Can’t believe how unkempt and neglected their graves are, good grief
Good job Chris but I am appalled at the poor condition of Whitney's grave! It looks very poorly maintained and needs some TLC. Plastic rubbish strewn about, no grass just dirt, poor cheap garden stone border, etc. Whitney deserves more respect!
Thanks so much Will. Just a little context, we were just coming out of winter. But, I agree that she needs something more. She’s an absolute legend.
After watching her movie I wanna dance with somebody and seeing this grave for a super star the one the name THE VOICE I really realized and confirmed that Her family members lead Her to this death and they are not organized people. I'm so sad seeing this please people you can do better fix Her grave. Her friends and her close surrounding please Go fix this. Rest in perfect Peace Whitney Elizabeth Houston 🕊️
Her head stone is smaller than other headstones at the cemetery
Ill never forget her National Anthem
Listen to Whitney sing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". Chilling. And her version of The National Anthem has no equal . No equal.
Hi Chris from Roanoke VA. Thank you for this video
Thank you so much for watching.
RIP Whitney and Bobbi
Hello .... I must say as a personal Body guard of my late friend NIPPY, My heart feels so lost for we each owe a death, but my friend has gone way too soon.

They refused to assist me.Said that the family wants to keep it private. According to the layout on the area she's lay to rest you can visit it without a problem. Just know you will have to find it on your own. Its an unrestricted area. Just google it ! I grew up with Nippy & half brother Gary. We will always love her ❤🎉 Rip🙏 "Nippy
She was taken away to young. Such a shame the drug scene. Ioved her voice.
May her and her daughter rest in peace.
Thankyou for this.She was human just like the rest of us. She was a great singer 😢😢🌹🌹
Their Graves looks terrible, very unkempt like none of her family cares…🧚🏿♀️🧚🏼♂️🧚🌹
🎼Yes Whittdocs, a talent like Whitney's doesn't come around very often, that's for sure!!!! I blame Bobby for ALOT of what happened to her. I mean, she was a somewhat innocent when she met him, and a few years later, it was TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!! As far as Whitney's Headstone, I don't know, I thought she'd have some ELABORATE Mausoleum or something. You never know. Thanks again, and I'm GLAD hers and Bobbi Kristina's graves weren't "OFF LIMITS"!!!!
You can't blame bobby for nothing cause he didn't start her on drugs her brother did if you were a true fan than you will know that
@@Kamya066 Oh, PLEAZE, get a LIFE!!!! She told Barbara Walters about the CRAP Brown would do. And how they would do drugs together!!!! And what does being a fan of hers have to do with Whitney's brother ?! That's just IGNORANT!!!!
No you get a life cause you don't know nothing about Whitney yes they did do drugs together but he didn't start her on them and she did things to him and he did things to her you know nothing and like I said if you were a true fan you would know that but you don't carry on
@@libertygiveme1987 check out the interview Whitney's mother and brother did with Oprah after her passing. Her brother states that he, not Bobby, introduced Whitney to drugs(first Marijuana then cocaine) in her late teens early twenties. It's on RUclips, but may be in clips.
Neva know someone struggles or personal choices
Yes I Am Still Missing My Dear Sweet Angel Whitney Houston
Thank you for sharing with us. Our Nippy and her baby girl, Bobby -Kristine🙏❤.
Thanks so much for this comment.
Her grave stone is so disappointing.
Talented, beautiful and loving. So missed
I Will Always Love You ranks tops in my charts. RIP to Whitney and her daughter.
Many famous folks have modest headstones so that's fine. It's what we do when alive that is our legacy. She was a remarkable talent. Not a very good likeness of her on the stone however.
Very lovely voice and just extremely popular. It’s probably best to remember these folks for accomplishments, but it’s sadly her addiction was just so public and the rest of her marriage issues. I’m sure she was probably a nice person too and had an abundance of talent. Tragic ending, yet another gone too soon. I was expecting something more elaborate but maybe she had mentioned nothing special at sometime during her life, who knows. As for Bobbi Christina, I found her death just so sad. I sure prayed she’d pull though, just a kid really as well as pretty strange “story” behind her death. Ironic. Thanks for stopping by though, and taking us along. She’s certainly exceptional and I’m sure missed greatly by her family, let ‘lone her friends and fans.
Thanks for your comments, Linda. They’re always appreciated.
Hi Chris from Geneseo IL
Hello there!
It is so tragically ironic that Bobbi Kristina was also found dead in a bath tub. I remember the day Whitney died. My Dad told me he saw it on the news that they had found her dead. Little did I know that just 9 months later my Dad would be dead of lung cancer. He was diagnosed in August of 2012 and passed away in November of 2012.
I remember Whitney Houston and The Bodyguard love it rest in peace my friends Whitney Houston and daughter
Whitney's mother Cissy (a talented singer in her own right; she sang with noted bacup vocalists Sweet Inspirations) is still with us. Brother Gary Garland was a basketball player at DePaul U. when the school was good in the 80s. He would sing the National Anthem at games.
Thanks Chris for this video
Thanks Kimberly.
What a modest monument considering how famous she was.
Thanks for sharing this Chris.
Also thank you for mentioning that it was Dolly Parton who wrote and performed I will Always Love You. So many people give Whitney the credit.
Thanks Ken!
No one gives her credit that was born and old enough to remember when the song came out
Yes Whitney Houston was one of my favorite singers like Lionel Richie bc I listened to both of great singers whittdocs...... thanks for sharing and great video too....👍👍
I appreciate that. Thank you.
you just have to be respectful and polite dont sound entitled. when talking to cemetery staff.
visited a grave in a private cemetery that others have had trouble gaining access to. but had no trouble
WHITNEY HOUSTON WAS THE BEST SING , WHO GOING TO SOON , WE , WILL MISS HER VOCIE , HER GOOD LOOKING FACE , HER MUSIC WE WILL PLAY ON ARE CD PLAY , WE LOVE HER MISS HER MAY SHE REST IN PEACE , ARE QUEEN , OF ARE HEART , 💋🖤💜💙💞💖💌❤🔥💔🙏👣❤💌
I honestly expected something else for her final resting place she was so beautiful
They said at her funeral Dionne Warwick is her Aunt. 'The Bodyguard' was a great movie.
So much going for her and she just couldn't stay away from the drugs. So sad. May she RIP alongside her daughter.
Thanks as always! Thanks for your support.
Her grave stone is very ordinary, but it's the person that is in this sacred plot of Earth that is the true richness. I cannot afford to go there from UK but I would love to pay my respects. She is with her God now at peace. Jon, Stapleford, Nottingham, England.
How could they have her grave off limits without blocking the families of those buried close by from visiting the graves of their loved ones? She is hardly in an isolated area. I doubt anyone is going to attempt to dig her up.
@Nick Hipsher - Not sure why they are upset about someone taking a photo of the grave. Maybe they should have buried her in a private cemetery somewhere with no public access if they get that upset about it.
Its all about RESPECT tho regardless how open it is to the public @@clmaynor
Hi Chris 👋🏻 from Puerto Rico!!!
Hey Nancy! How are you?
I plan to visit here on my trip to New York in February hopefully i can go in and pay my respects❤️
Surprised it's not more fancy...........
Thank you 😊💓☺💗
No offense but Whitney was the ⭐Superstar⭐ so why does her father have a better headstone than her😥
I used to listen to Whitney Houston songs love it rest in peace Whitney Houston and Bobbi Christina
I would not want to have a family member buried in that area. Don't come up and question my right to visit my family.
Whitney Houston was one of my favorite vocalist.
One of the best!
That's a shame
Can you please confess at which Avenue of the Cemetery she's buried? It's very important for us fans to know this once we'll be able to travel to there and visit her. Thanks!
You are so right!
I remember the night Whitney so sad she had a beautiful
