While certains sects of the media try to chew, dissect, and dismantle the unshakable greatness of Whitney Houston, here at That Grape Juice we opt instead to celebrate her life; one which touched so many.

And while the world in unison mourns her passing, the star’s transition will resonate with none more so than her mother, gospel singer Cissy Houston.

An ever-present rock for Whitney in life, Cissy’s potent letter to her daughter (as published in the booklet for her ‘Home Going’),  tells of a love death can’t diminish.

Cissy’s touching words below…

Our thoughts and fervent prayers remain with the Houston family at this trying time.
