We Miss You, Ms. Houston!

Yesterday, I missed the Soul Night Out Tribute to Whitney Houston and Don Cornelius, but I did make it out to the Apollo Theater in Harlem to pay my respects to the Queen of Pop. I am still in a bit of disbelief about her death as I hear her songs on the radio and see her videos on television. No more than a month ago I was laughing to her in the movie "Waiting to Exhale." This past December I was playing my "The Preacher's Wife" cassette tape for the holiday season. Just seeing her name on the Apollo marquee gave me chills because it read "In Memory of Whitney Houston A True Music Icon 1963-2012."

When my friend Shauna and I arrived at the Apollo, we saw a line of poster boards attached to the fence next to the building filled with signatures from fans from all over. People were signing as we walked up. People were also selling t-shirts and buttons. I signed on one of the boards as well as Shauna. Being that she was born in Newark, NJ like we were, I mentioned that Newark will not be the same without her and I mentioned Brick City love always. I signed it "Dom. "Mikette" Wilson" as well. After we took a few photos, we were on our way back home with the lovely tunes of Ms. Houston in our heads and the love for her in our hearts.

When we arrived back in Newark, NJ we were welcomed by her beautiful smiling face on the giant Prudential Center marquee.
