"Whitney Houston&amp;apos;s family is divided on how they should honor the late singer on the one-year anniversary of her death. The celebrated musician passed away on Feb. 11, 2012, at the age of 48, just before she was scheduled to attend Clive Davis&amp;apos; annual pre-Grammy party. Recently, Whitney&amp;apos;s family members were invited to attend the annual bash, though they disagree over whether they should attend.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I got an invitation to the party, which is the most obscene thing,&amp;quot; Whitney&amp;apos;s mother Cissy Houston, 79, told Access Hollywood Thursday. &amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t know why they would want me to come to the party in which she died, you know? Unheard of.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I guess maybe he just sent me a copy for remembrance sake,&amp;quot; she added.\r\n\r\nThe late &amp;quot;I Will Always Love You&amp;quot; singer&amp;apos;s brother Gary Houston and sister-in-law Pat feel very differently about the invitation. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the couple said that they will attend the party to support Davis.\r\n&amp;quot;[Clive] was such an important part of Whitney&amp;apos;s life. I mean, that was her industry father and he really, really was,&amp;quot; Pat said.&amp;#xA0;&amp;quot;My husband and I will definitely be there this weekend to support Clive.&amp;#xA0;Absolutely.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe founder and former president of Arista Records, 80, discovered Whitney at a New York City nightclub when she was just 20 years old. Last year, Davis gave a tearful speech to his party guests about Whitney&amp;apos;s death.\r\n&amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t have to mask my emotions. Not in front of this room full of so many dear friends,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I do have a very heavy heart and I am personally devastated by the loss of someone who has meant so much to me for so many years. Whitney was so full of life.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
