Why was nobody able to help her in her last days? Were people blind to the fact that she needed help? Unfortunately, drugs and alcohol are a deadly comination.

Happy to know she didn't give in to people against Israel May all God people grow backbone and stand for their belief and convictions. Glad to know she did!

It was wonderful to find out that Huston was a friend of Israel .Too bad that this came up on the day of her untimely death.One wonders what could have been done and was not done to help her and save her. I will miss her marvelous singing.

While in Israel she probably experienced an 'awakening' that probably had never had happened previously, especially when one takes into consideration the chaos in her life(style). Remember, her (singing) beginnings began in her church in NJ when she was a youngster. In Israel, given her religious beginnings, it didn't take much of her senses to become aware of Israel's significance/role as being the true earthly 'home' of her, and many others, religion. May her soul find peace that her earthly being was unable to accomplish. We'll miss u Whitney - u left behind a a musical legacy to will be the standard 4 others that will follow in the future.

yes she raise the awarness for drugs but she her self did,nt beleve in it she was a drug addicet and alcholic sorry a person like that is not a roll modell in our family

David - drug use and alcoholism are both diseases, and both are very very hard to break away from. Im sure she tried to beat these evils, but not everybody is strong enough to do this. I feel very sorry for you. You are so cold and have no compassion. Yes, she was a super star with a voice that was a gift from G-d...., but for all the drug addicts and alcoholics who are not famous or blessed, I pray they can find the strength and courage to beat the demons that plague them. David, I will also pray that nobody you love becomes addicted. If this does happen (I hope not) maybe only then will you see the picture from a different angle.

May Hashem send comfort to her family and close loved ones, especially her children. Whitney was a Christian and went to Israel, I suspect, to connect with those roots, not necessarily with the Jewish people. MANY Christians go to Israel, many live there today, certain that it's the place to be because they feel at home, in anticipation of their books being fulfilled one day.

I understand her feeling Visiting Israel and taking teams many times and everytime has been a home coming for my soul

No matter how successful a person is, a good or bad influence can affect your future.

with you, al greenberg. 100%

At this,Tragic,time,is that all you can say?.....Why,so judgemental???????

Whitney Houston was a true inspiration to those of us who love music and singing. No one has ever sang the Star Spangled Banner like her. She reached out to many with friendship, mentorship, and love. Her spiritual side was deep and rooted in honesty and goodness. I hope to hear you singing with the angels someday on the other side.

Israel has healing for many- if they would only avail themselves.....

When I came to Israel for the first time more than 50 years ago, I used the same words. "I have never felt like this in any other country. I feel at home. This feeling never left me.- And happily it turned out for me, that it was true. Israel is my home. May Hashem accept her after her sudden death as "His daughter" in Olam Haba.
