I first heard your music when I was 10 years old and was gifted a radio for Christmas. You were always one of my favorites. Your birthday is the same day as the anniversary of when I was baptized and became a Believer in 2015 and the day you died was the day that my own musical journey began when I auditioned for the music program at college. Fame may have separated us in life, but I am honored to be your sister in the Lord and can't wait to meet you in Heaven. Rest in peace, sweet angel.

Like sound traveling through space, so does your music, echoing in our hearts, our world, our universe. Love of you does not end with those of us who love and remember you because there new generations who hear and learn to love you as we did through your music.

I fell in love with your music from the moment I saw your "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" video. My admiration and care for you grew from there. Personally, I miss knowing that you are not here but I am grateful you left behind a legacy for us to enjoy and 'dance with somebody' to.

When I first heard Miss Houston sing I thought to myself that she has a voice like an angel. I had to find out who she was so I could buy myself a cassette. She was so beautiful and she was a really great actress too.

You gave us good love, you were the greatest of them all. You gave the world the extraordinary gift of your God given voice that will sustain your legacy for generations to come.

Many people may not remember or even realize the purity of your voice and abilities or why you were referred to as, "The Voice!" The fact that you were a vocal prodigy. We now know that you just wanted to share your gift with the world but other things got in the way. God only wanted you here for a short time and then he called you home. It's not right, but it's okay that your gone. You are now finally resting peacefully and you can no longer be hurt or feel pain.

Your music was apart of my childhood, my teenage years, my 20's and sadly only until my early 30's. Your music helped me through some very tough times in my life. I still just can't believe that I will never hear you sing a new song again. All at once I'm finally realizing that you're not coming back again. Always remember that you were loved by the world, our love is your love and we will always love you!
