Whitney Houston's family pays tribute three years after her death
As they remain at the hospital with Bobbi Kristina Brown, the family of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown are also remembering Houston -- exactly three years after her death at age 48.
On Feb. 11, 2012, Houston was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in the Beverly Hilton hotel just before the Grammy Awards. Authorities said she accidentally drowned, and investigators listed heart disease and cocaine use as contributors to her death.
On Wednesday, Bobbi Kristina's cousin Jerod Brown posted the final picture he took with Houston, along with the following message on Facebook: "You will never know the last moment you will experience, the last conversation you will have, the last photo you will take. Well this was the last photo we took with you auntie and if I would have known that I would've taken a few more lol. In life we forget to take a few more photos, share a few more laughs, shed a few more tears, overcome a few more struggles, mentor a few more people. By chance we are all born, by choice we live, and we are all promised death. One thing auntie was about was Family. Right or wrong, Family is Family. It was an honor to have known you, to be loved by you, and to be inspired by you. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU ... #WakeUpBK"
Tina Brown, Houston's sister-in-law, also took to Facebook: "I miss you MY sister...rip nip....I miss you sis,...like crazy!!!!!!-...rip my sister...," she posted, adding that she was "feeling heartbroken" in the status. She also included several photos of Whitney, including the Ebony cover of Whitney, husband Bobby Brown and their daughter.
On Jan. 31 Bobbi Kristina was rushed to the hospital after being found unresponsive in a bathtub of a townhouse in Roswell, Georgia.
Last week the Houston family said she was "fighting for her life," and this week the Brown family said she's "getting better."
