BALTIMORE (WJZ)—As Whitney Houston is remembered all over the world, one of her high school classmates — who lives right here in Baltimore– opens up to WJZ.

Dr. Maria Pane practices at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center.

She spoke with WJZ about what it was like to go to school with Houston.

They both went to an all-girls Catholic high school in New Jersey.

Dr. Pane remembers Houston fondly. She said Houston was one of the most popular girls in school and she was friends with everyone.

They graduated together in 1981.

And at Sunday night’s Grammy awards, Jennifer Hudson performed “I Will Always Love You” in a special tribute to Whitney Houston.

Bigad Shaban reports for WJZ on how Houston’s shocking death impacted music’s biggest night.

    R U on crack? You’re not very sympathetic at all. Have a little respect. The world has lost one of the greatest performers of all time regardless of her faults. None of us are perfect. Not even you with your stupid remark.

    Whitney was her own worst enemy. She was loved but never loved herself in return.

  • whatnow

    Houston was a good girl until she got hooked up with Bobby Brown. He was her downfall. What a beautiful, beautiful voice lost to us.

    she made a choice and her choice was drugs over life

    I was a fan in the 80’s; her heyday. Saw her in concert at the peak of her popularity. Oh what happened? Back then she was the epitome of squeaky clean; in the proceeding decades she downward spiraled into the abyss. This is another example (read: Amy Winehouse) of a drug-addled talent taken far too early. She destroyed herself. Sad, sad, sad. Her fans are asking “where do our broken hearts go?

    Thank you for psiotng such important information. My name is Stephanie Robin and I am fighting Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer and have been sharing my story through my organization, THINK PINK. Each day I am amazed at the number of people I meet who have never heard of the Breast Cancer Gene (BRCA). I am on a mission to spread the word and help as many men and women as possible. Had I known about the BRCA gene, the past five years of my life may not have consisted of many grueling chemotherapy treatments and painful surgeries, let alone the daily fear of my children losing their mommy long before I had a chance to raise them. My THINK PINK team and I have a lofty goal to collect ONE MILLION clicks by Dec. 31, 2009. I invite you and your readers to help me in my mission a simple click is all it takes!!! Please visit http://www.thinkpinkrocks.com and click to be counted and acknowledge that you now have the information that could save your life. Please share this link with your friends and family. It’s too important not to. Thank you XOXO.
