As the search continues for her newphew….
Presidential candidate Barack Obama issued the following statement regarding Jennifer Hudson's tragic loss:
"Michelle and I were absolutely heartbroken to learn about this unimaginable tragedy and we want Jennifer to know that she is in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. We also pray for the swift and safe return of her young nephew."
The Obamas had requested that their fellow Chicagoan, Jennifer, sing the national anthem at the Democratic National convention earlier this year.
Jennifer was also in the thoughts and prayers of her fellow American Idol Season 3 contestants.
Diana DeGarmo, who finished second that season, told Access Hollywood, "I was completely shocked and stunned when I heard about this tragedy. I know how important Jennifer’s mother and brother were to her, especially because her father was never in the picture. They were so nice and so pleasant. Jennifer always spoke about her mom, how close they were and how much of a ‘big sister’ role her mom played in her life. I can’t imagine what she is going through. I hope everybody gives Jennifer her space to deal with this because I know how much they will be missed by her. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jennifer and we are here for you.”
Former contestant Camile Velasco said Jennifer's mom was a wonderful woman and expressed extreme shock, like us all, “This news caught me off guard. I met Jennifer’s mom when she came to the set in L.A. and I also went to Jennifer’s home on the South Side of Chicago during the ‘American Idol’ tour and spent time with her mom. She was a great lady, real sweet and a great supporter of Jennifer’s who was happy and glad for her daughter’s success. Jennifer has great faith in God and is loved by so many so I hope that will get her through this ordeal. She has my love and support and I am here for her if she needs me.”
In other related news, the FBI has joined in the search for Jennifer's 7-year old nephew, Julian. As y'all know, he disappeared after the Hudson family slayings.
Our thoughts and prayers are also with the Hudson family.
