The service held at the St. James United Methodist Church in Alpharetta, Georgia, which included loving tributes from both of Bobbi Kristina's parents.
Many of Bobbi Kristina's relatives spoke at the service, attended by about 250 to 300 guests, including her uncle Tommy Brown and aunt Pat Houston, who sat near father Bobby Brown. Bobbi Kristina's two best friends also took the podium together to give an emotional tribute to their friend.
Bobbi Kristina's grandmother, gospel singer Cissy Houston, performed "The Lord Is My Shepherd" during the service, bringing the crowd to their feet. Other performances included singer Monica's rendition of "I Love the Lord" and gospel star CeCe Winans singing "His Strength Is Perfect." The ceremony ended on a emotional note from the late Whitney Houston, as the singer's version of "Jesus Loves Me" was played during the recessional.
The program for the memorial service included a loving tribute from Bobbi Kristina's father, Bobby Brown, who stood at the end of the service with his hand resting on the closed casket, which was draped in pink, white and red flowers. A full page in the program features a smiling picture of Bobbi Kristina, with the caption "I also will always love you. Love, Daddy," a reference to Houston's popular song.
The only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown died at age 22 on July 26. She will be buried next to her mother in New Jersey on Monday.
