Former Tour Band Member Speaks of Whitney Houston's Faith

          I know this is a bit late to the news world, but I found this interview with Jetro Da Silva, a Berklee professor who was Whitney Houston's keyboardist, guitarist and Bible study leader for 13 years. He speaks of her faith. 

          "Like all the Christians who seek the Lord, she was growing and learning. Whitney was always a spiritual woman. She enjoyed praying and reading the Bible. Life's struggles led her to know and understand grace and mercy on a deeper level. [Whitney] was real about her challenges, but she also knew the Lord in a personal level. She was not a hypocrite. I often witnessed Whitney praying for a lot people. When one of her friends was seek, and she asked the whole band to join her in her dressing room, and she began crying out to the Lord, asking for healing. [Whitney] was a woman of prayer. I believe that she was in peace with the Lord when she died."
