Three years since Whitney Houston's death: Family pays tribute
Los Angeles, Feb 12
On the third death
anniversary of Whitney Houston's death, her family members took to
social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram to post tributes to
the late singer and actress, who left a powerful impact on the world
with her talent.
Houston died Feb 11, 2012, at the age of 48. She
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.
Tina Brown, Houston's sister-in-law, wrote a Facebook message about the Grammy winner.
"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
an ironic turn of events, Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown was
rushed to the hospital after being found unresponsive in a bathtub of a
townhouse in Roswell, Georgia Jan 31. Bobbi Kristina, whose
circumstances mimic that of her mother, is currently fighting for her
life in a hospital and is on life support.
The family has been
calling for continued prayers for Bobbi Kristina, but in the meantime
they have taken a moment to honour their late relative, reports

Bobbi Kristina's cousin, Jerod Brown, posted a
lengthy message in honour of the "My love is your love" singer and
included the last photograph he ever took with his aunt.
"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... 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," he wrote.
