Whitney’s last photo…

The photo showing Whitney Houston in an open casket wearing her favorite purple dress, has been published on the cover of this week’s National Enquirer.

Its said that she was wearing over $500,000 worth of jewelry consisting of  a diamond broach and earrings as seen in the photo  and gold slippers on her feet.

The picture is believed to have been taken inside the Whigham Funeral Home in Newark, where her family and close friends attended a private wake last Friday. The magazine claims the photo was taken at the private viewing.

I’m conflicted on seeing this photo. Part of me thinks she looks so beautiful and the other part thinks it’s disturbing to take these kinds of photos more than likely against the family’s wishes.
