This story reminds us about a woman named Ashly Williams who also paid tribute to her late mother with a powerful rendition of a Whitney Houston classic.

In 2013, Ashly stepped onto "The X Factor" stage and brought down the house with her incredible performance of Houston's "I Will Always Love You."

Before hitting the stage, she said: “This is the moment that I’ve been waiting for. The moment that my mother would be proud to see me accomplish."
