It’s a sad day for all of us who have ever heard her music. Although we talk about people and comment on their life and offer our opinions on who they date, what they wear or even how they look on their album cover. It’s moments like this that make us fall back and realize that the lives we comment and critique are real. Jennifer Hudson loved her mother and her family. In an interview with the AP she said of her mother.
“My faith in God and my family, they’re very realistic and very normal, they’re not into the whole limelight kind of thing, so when I go home to Chicago that’s just another place that’s home,” she said. “I stand in line with everybody else, or, when I go home to my mom I’m just Jennifer, (so she says), ‘You get up and you take care of your own stuff.’ And I love that; I don’t like when people tell you everything you want to hear, I want to hear the truth, you know what I mean.”
My heart goes out to Jennifer Hudson and the rest of her family. I hope they find her nephew. I can’t imagine what I would do in this situation. She’s a strong woman, in a statement release by her publicist they explained.
“We can confirm that there is an ongoing investigation concerning the deaths of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donerson, and her brother, Jason Hudson,” Lisa Kasteler, her personal publicist, said in a statement. “No further comment will be made and the family has asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.”
Tonight before you go to bed, drop down on your knees and say a prayer for Jennifer Hudson, I know I will.
