Mourners including her father, Grammy award winning singer Monica and actor Michael Jai White her father Bobby Brown and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Tyler Perry amongst others, but one very notable absentee was Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend, Nick Gordon, who found her unconscious in a bathtub at her home nearly six months ago, they all gathered at an Alpharetta, Atlanta church today to say goodbye to Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown.
Her hearse was escorted to St. James United Methodist Church by a huge police motorcade and her coffin was carried into the invitation only service by four men dressed in black suits as family members arrived for the 11am start.
Eight police motorcycles escorted three stretch limousines carrying mourners to the church ahead of the service. A procession of dozens of cars followed. Security was tight at the church.
Despite pleading with Brown and Bobbi's aunt, Pat Houston, Gordon was told he was not welcome at the funeral - which is believed to have a Sweet 16 theme.
However, it was not clear if Dionne Warwick, the cousin of Whitney Houston attended after reports she is furious with Pat Houston for deciding on the 'inappropriate' theme.
Bobbi Kristina's funeral was interrupted Saturday morning by an outburst from Leolah Brown, Bobbi's aunt, who was swiftly removed from the church with the help of Tyler Perry.
This happened as Pat Houston was getting ready to speak when Leolah began screaming, "Pat you know you are wrong for this!"
We're told security descended on Leolah and escorted her out. Tyler Perry followed to help diffuse the situation.
As we reported, the Browns and Houstons are feuding again. Several members of Brown's family are upset that Pat Houston has solicited funds instead of flowers for her charity.
A furious Leolah Brown left the service half way to tell the gathered media, 'Whitney Houston will haunt Pat Houston from the grave.'
Dressed in brown and dressed in a white hat and jacket , Bobbi's great aunt said that everything was going well until Pat Houston started to speak about 90 minutes into the service.
Addressing reporters outside St. James United Methodist Church, Brown declined to say exactly what Pat Houston had said that so incensed her, but did say that she felt compelled to get her frustrations off her chest.
'This is going to be a long drawn out process,' said Leolah.

This Leolah woman is too vocal, needs to chill & give Pat Houston a break. Truth is Bobbi Krissy never stood a chance when both of her parent were drug addicts. When I watched the video ' Being Bobby Brown' reality show, Whitney Houston was constantly high on drugs, couldn't make sense of her utterances which in any case didn't make any sense. This poor child was s victim of her parent making. Leolah should shut up!
Na wa o
May her soul rest in peace. Amen.
They shud keep on shaming themselves....RIP bae!
May her soul rest in peace
Most times when we walk into big malls, boutiques, supermarkets, we never question their prices. We pay exactly what we see on the price tags and even hand out tips to the staff.
But the moment we are out of these shops and want to buy banana, our bargaining game gets off to the roof. Poor widow with 12 hungry children at home tells you banana is N100. She even takes out her time to explain how difficult it was for her to even buy it, how the economy is so tough.
But we insist that if it's not N50, we are not paying. Some of us even step back into our cars and make to drive away. But because 'half bread is better chin chin', this woman is forced to call you back and sell to you at little or no gain. In her heart, she cries, she's worried about how she'll survive with her children. She silently reassures herself that 'It's well.
God will definitely provide.'' While you happily chop the luscious banana. Take some seconds out and think about this, guys. Please don't bargain hard with small vendors like this. They do business not to buy designer bags, Gucci shoes but to LIVE and EAT!
She didn't ask to be born to go through all she went thru. She's in a better place now
Rip
May her soul rest in peace
OKORO UPGRADED**
Rip young lady! It's a pity that the greatest love of all lineage has ended this way!! Smh

Vanity upon vanity. Like a vicious circle death is claiming people should be living and affecting people and the society. Whitney and bobbi gone. Wish they didn't end up like this but lessons need to be learnt.try your best to learn from the best. Whitney sang how she learns from the nest but she never lived it. Be careful how you live your life, what goes around comes around. Rip Bobbi

Black people are d same all over d world. They love trouble and all this sort of family drama. Damn! What a race we are
It is so obvious Bobbi K was surrounded by self-centred adults during her life time. Little wonder she lost her way and got sucked down the rabbit hole. Poor child. I hope she made her peace with God and pray she rests well.
May her soul rest in peace #flipshair
May her soul rest in peace, amen. Wat a tragedy.
Such a pity!

RIP Bobbi Kristina. It's quite sad that she ended up this way. A lot of people spoke against her relationship with Nick, but she never listened. Now what a sad ending. Whitney would be so disappointed.
