May God bless you on your way to heaven. I know you had a life of hardships. Thank you God for blessing my great grand parents, my grandparents, my parents, my generation, and many generations ahead with Aretha's tremendous vocal talent. She had one of the best voices of all time that transcended race and politics and numerous genres of music (Soul, Rnb, Jazz, Gospel, Opera, and Blues). She will be missed and now she is home in heaven.
