Photos: Saying goodbye to Whitney Houston
Those closest to Whitney Houston Saturday filled the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey to say one final goodbye to the 48-year-old singer.
The Associated Press reports the three-and-a-half hour service ended with the song “I Will Always Love You.”
Houston died last week in Beverly Hills, California.
