Mourners including her father, Bobby Brown, Grammy award
winning singer Monica and actor Michael Jai White 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.
May her soul rest in peace…Amen!
