Whitney Houston‘s funeral is full of phenomonal speeches and tributes and one that definitely raised the roof in the house of God was a performance by Alicia Keys.

Before A.Keys took to the piano, she shared a funny story about their nickname for each other Meema and shared some words saying:
“I was just thinking about the way it’s so obvious that she just crept into everybody’s heart. The way that she just was such a beautiful human being. Really, really caring, beautiful, thoughtful human being. Call you for no reason at all, just to say hi. That’s rare, I think, sometimes. I feel like in so many ways she reached back to so many people … made us feel strong and capable and loved … she’s an angel to us.”

Keys then performed “Angel,” a fitting tribute as she held back tears.
Kudos to Alicia for such a great heart warming tribute in such an emotional time. Rest In Peace our beloved Whitney Houston!
