another where you go 'wow', but then realize it's not really that big a surprise. once again, someone with limitless talent matched only by inner demons. what a shame for her family, and mostly her daughter.

Default That's very sad indeed......

After she married Bobby Brown, it seemed like a downward spiral into drugs. But i thought she was past that, i have not read a cause yet. I understand Ray J whom she had been in a relationship with found her in her hotel room. Feel bad for Bobbi Christina to lose her mother at only 48, RIP Whitney. Thanks for all the great music. Wonderful voice.

Nicely said JMS.

Whitney leaves behind an 18 year old daughter. At the end of the day a young girl lost her mother. She will spend the rest of her life attempting to come to terms with this loss.
