Whitney Houston, the legendary pop singer whose legacy will live on in pop culture for centuries through her beautiful voice, will be remembered today in a thanksgiving service at Newark's New Hope Baptist Church in New Jersey in the United States.

News of the sudden death of the pop icon on February 11 has left many Jamaicans devastated.

Abigail Wood, a fan, said: "Most of our generation grew up listening to her voice. She also inspired a large variety of people, including singers."

The LA County coroner's office is still trying to unravel the mystery pertaining to the singer's death. She may have died from a combination of prescription drugs mixed with alcohol. They are currently trying to obtain a subpoena to get her medical and drug records from her doctor.
