Whitney Houston, we always love you...

Tonight, the news of Whitney Houston’s passing totally shocked me. I simply could not believe that it was true. I was listening to her music last night before I went to sleep. She had such a powerful voice that was both uplifting and inspiring to me, at any time, but especially whenever my spirits were low. Surely, she was among the greatest of American singers. It is a real pity that we have lost such a talent, such a voice, and at such a young age! Thanks for your power! Thanks for your music! If I may be allowed to speak for everyone and, to paraphrase one of her most popular songs: "And we (the world) will always (remember, cherish and) love Whitney!

Tracy, I, too, was in disbelief and at a loss for words when I heard the news! As to your essay, please read and understand the corrections/changes I've made within my version. As always, please contact me should you have any questions. (And, apologies for the late reply, but I've been rather sick lately...). - J.
