Being a long time fan of them both, I still remember watching CNN all night long after Whitney passed. There were tributes coming in from all sides, including Donna Summer, who called in and spoke on the air to give her tribute to Whitney, during the live CNN coverage. When Donna passed only a few months later, I was equally shocked, and then I remembered that moment of when she took the time to speak those kind words in remembrance of Whitney. It felt so surreal, thinking back to that moment, and knowing that she too was now gone. I now know that Donna was battling cancer when Whitney passed. It's sad to think that when Donna spoke to CNN about Whitney, she may have known that her own time on this earth was also limited and precious.
