I guess that could be, but it seemed odd that a whole line of people sitting up front facing the congregation (and I'm not sure who those people were or why they were up there) were wearing sunglasses. I can see a few people feeling as though they want to hide red eyes from crying, although red eyes from crying are hardly odd or unexpected at a funeral service. But a whole line of them? It doesn't matter, really, I just wondered.
Still want to know who the woman with the big hat sitting just behind the pulpit was.
I know that one of the women sitting behind the pulpit was the wife of Bishop TD Jakes. Bishop TD Jakes was sitting next to Jesse Jackson.
Also, since they were videotaping/filming I can assume that the lighting was probably a bit bright as well. That along with the ability to hide emotions were the reasons for the sunglasses.
who said i watched it????????????????????????????????? I was playing tennis and then had a facial and manicure
Hood and jive are not negatives and all races use these words. fact a few said i went back to the hood to pay my resprects to WH .....on the news last 2days are you saying only blacks can say it to each other and be okay better yet you dont even kow what color or nationality i am lol waz up wit dat
Actually Tahoe Girl, you're the one that's talking ghetto "waz up wit dat" You don't know Whitney Houston, you have no clue about her life, her family, you know nothing about her. I thought her funeral was beautiful and done with class. Let the woman RIP, please

I didn't observe what you're speaking about but it doesn't seem that odd to me. I know I had shades on at one point at a close relatives funeral. For me a way to stay more inside myself and grieve in the moment and with the spirit of the person who had passed I think.
I don't "need" to know. It's just that I spent the better part of the afternoon looking at this person and her hat and wondered who she was and why she was up there right behind the pulpit.

Oh, OK, that would make sense. I heard Bishop Jakes speak. He was short and to the point, and very, very good.
Initially I had thought this was one of those sad eventual events in the life of someone with long-term drug and alcohol problems.
But after hearing about how there were people in her hotel suite while she spent an hour in the bath tub - and that previous staff had not allowed her to take baths due to their fear that she could fall asleep while in one- I do believe this was entirely preventable.
Had those people with her in her suite that night decided to have someone sit in there while she took a bath, or told her she could not take one (given that there are reports of her seeming to be out of it in the days prior to the day she died), she would most likely be alive today.
So while it may be her fault that she was drinking and drugging, the people in her entourage I believe failed her. Its very sad that it led to her death.
