Hudson Family Members Mourned

1028hudson2.jpg

Family and friends of Jennifer Hudson -- including Oprah Winfrey -- gathered in Chicago Sunday to pay their respects to her late mother, brother and nephew -- all victims of homicide.

The memorial service was held Pleasant Gift Baptist Church, Jennifer's childhood parish on the south side of the Windy City. Jennifer did not attend the services. Hudson's sister Julia -- mother of victim Julian King, 7 -- also did not attend the memorial service. Private funeral services are scheduled for today.

Darnell Donerson, 57, Jason Hudson, 29 were shot and killed October 24, Julian's body was found October 27. Chicago police reported last week that they found the gun used in all three deaths. Police have ruled the killings "domestic related" -- and labeled Jennifer's estranged brother-in-law, William Balfour, as a "person of interest" in the case.


NEXT: Renaissance Sandra!

 

Jennifer and Julia,

I’m so,so very sorry of the tribulation of life, that you all went through. I know the horrior of going through the lost of a love one in such a hateful way. We lost our eldiest Brother to Murder in his home,but, believe me the Holy spirit will come and the healing will begin. vengeance is mine saith the Lord,and he will fight your battle. My God will supply all that is needed to see you all through this.

Stand Strong and see the salvation of the Lord come to Past.

Jennifer,

Sorry for your lost. God will take care of you and your family. I have been there and it will not be easy. Keep making your mother proud, even though she will not be there in the body, but i know that she will be there in the spirit. Just sing.. Sing out the pain…and open your heart for love from us who are behind you and the new family that He will give unto you some day.

Jennifer, I lost my baby sister at 20 years to violence and it’s something never get over. It’s one thing if a family member is sick and another if they are taken from you by violence. You always wonder what they felt and if they suffered during the ordeal. You do move on but you can never forget that
violence took their lives and always want closier with apprehension of the perpetrator. YOU NEVER GET OVER IT!!

I think that Jennifer Hudson’s, mom, brother,& nephew were all killed I can only imagine how she feels but I do know how it feels to loose a parent because when I was 10 going on 11 my real dad past away from diabetes and we were really close so I would like Jennifer to know that her and her family are in my prayers
