Bobbi Kristina Brown Still Fighting For Her Life in Atlanta Hospital

It is not just Whitney Houston who is turning over in her grave but probably also Bobbi Brown in her coffin as the Brown-Houston family feud turned for the worse. On Saturday, Bobby Brown's sister, Leolah, walked out of the memorial service for her deceased niece while Pat Houston spoke.

Pat is the former manager and sister-in-law of Whitney. Leolah, who stormed out of the St. James United Methodist Church, told reporters outside, "I told her that Whitney is going to haunt her from the grave."

Leolah, who has been accused of leaking photos of Bobbi in her hospital bed at Peachtree Hospice Care, said the war between the Browns and the Houstons is far from over, stressing, "It just started," quotes Fox.

She says the memorial service was wonderful until Pat began to speak, pointing out that Pat is a phony person. The source of Leolah's anger at Pat, based on the former's Facebook post, was that Pat invited people mourning for Bobbi Kristina - who died on July 26 after almost six months in a coma - to donate money in the young singer's memory to the Marion P. Foundation.

The foundation is a youth charity based in North Carolina and run by Pat. Leolah called the solicitation for donation "a scheme ... for personal gain." She also faulted Pat for not consulting Bobbi's father on the memorial plan, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

But it was not all anger at the memorial service. There was also music and spirituality as Cissy Houston, the grandmother of Bobbi and a gospel singer, performer "The Lord Is My Shepherd." Monica sang "I Love the Lord," while Cece Winans rendered "His Strength Is Perfect." Whitney's version of "Jesus Loves Me" was the recessional song, reports ETOnline.

Other than Leolah's outburst, ETOnline observes the rest of the relatives from both families appear to get along and even hugged one another. However, it noted the Browns and Houstons left the memorial service from separate aisles.

Bobbi Kristina - who was found unconscious in a bathtub at her Georgia home, similar to how her mother was discovered lifeless in 2012 at the Beverly Hilton hotel - is scheduled to be buried on Monday beside Whitney in a cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey. An autopsy revealed that Whitney took a large amount of cocaine, while Bobbi is believed to have also taken drugs.
