Jennifer Hudson's Mother Shot, Killed

October 24th, 2008

Nonk just messaged to tell me that the mother (and possibly also her brother) of honorary BFDiva Jennifer Hudson have been shot and killed in Chicago. I just felt I wanted to say something here when I heard this terrible, tragic news.

This article has a picture of Jennifer and her mom, and says the shooting was “domestic” in nature.

Jennifer, our hearts go out to you.

    Ms. Jennifer,
    May peace and blessings fall upon
    you from the most high. As you go through
    the storms of life, God is right there in the
    midst of it all. Look to the father for strength
    and peace that passes all understanding. I
    know that it is not easy the heart ache
    of it all. A shocking to your mind, body, and soul. Let God be your solid rock of foundation. Cry out to him when you need to release the arrow in your heart. GOD BLESS!!!!

    This is an awful storm cloud for someone who appears to be a beautiful soul. Hopefully, some “good” can come out of it and shine the spotlight on domestic abuse. It is such a common thing that so often goes unnoticed until something tragic happens.

    My prayers for Ms Hudson and the rest of her family (and that the newphew is found safe and sound).

    Her nephew is missing, too..sounds like someone’s got it out for her.

    They are in my thoughts and prayers as well.
