un-needed and nasty comment award to you.
But Whitney’ s relatives were absolute idiots to bury her body like an ancient queen. Including objects of value in a coffin is a guarentee grave robbers WILL strike,sooner or later. Many are buried with no jewelry,it being kept by the living in remembrance.The dead have no use for any great finery.At the Resurrection,all will receive more glorious raiment.
And it is in bad taste and quite probably not Christian.
Totally needed and necessary. It's long past the time we gloss over and honor crackheads and junkies just because they had talent and threw it away. I grew up in the same neighborhood as she did in East Orange, NJ. We moved out as it was starting to deteriorate. My former Grammar School is named after her, which is pretty fitting if you know what kind of hellhole East Orange has become. Here's praying that other kids don't follow her example, even if the Principal of the school calls her a role model. Is that the kind of role model you want for your kids?
