Jennifer Hudson & Family to Attend Public Funeral on Sunday

A public memorial to mourn the deaths of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew will be held on Sunday afternoon in Chicago.While Jennifer and her sister, Julia, will not be in attendance, other Hudson family members will be present.

An invitation-only service will be held at 3 p.m. at the Pleasant Gift Memorial Baptist Church (4526 S. Greenwood; Chicago, IL).  Read the full story at USmagazine.com

The tragedy that unfolded over the past few weeks w/ Jennifer Hudson’s family is horrible.  The murder of her Mom, brother & nephew is just incomprehensible.  To think that a family member (boyfriend or whomever), could kill people over a simple dispute is nuts.  Sure, there is drama going on, but shooting people isn’t the answer in any case.

These types of events happen all the time in the United States, but because Hudson is a celebrity, everything is blown up 100x what it normally would… and I think that’s a good thing.  We need more people thinking about why this is happening, how to prevent it, etc.  By putting the issue front & center on the news all the time, perhaps we’ll get something done.
