Tamera Mowry Emotionally Remembers Niece Killed in California Shooting

As the holidays are in full swing, Tamera Mowry is missing her niece, Alaina Housley.

The 18-year-old was one of 12 killed by a gunman at Borderline Bar & Grill last month. A few weeks later, the actress made her emotional return to The Real and gave her talk show co-hosts and audience an update on how her family is dealing with Alaina's death.

Now, just weeks before Christmas, Tamera shared a heart-wrenching post on Instagram remembering her niece.

"Alaina. God, we miss you. Yesterday you were supposed to come home," she began the post, alongside a photo of Alaina and her son Aden. "The questions of why consume my mind. But I must hold on to the fact that our Lord is sovereign. The reality of you not being here hits stronger today. I miss your giggles, I miss your smile, I miss the way you would roll your eyes when you heard someone say something crazy. I miss the way you would so gracefully scoop up Ariah and Aden, and the way you took their hands and walked away to play."

"You had a heart pure with love and kindness. Oh what this world needs more of now. My children loved you. I loved you. I know I have a guardian angel with me now. But selfishly I want you here with me," she continued. "Until we meet and sing again."⁣

The former Sister, Sister star ended the post with a call to gun safety. "⁣Ironically, 6 years ago today the senseless shooting of #sandyhookelementary occurred," she wrote. "Praying for the families and individuals who have had to endure and survive senseless gun violence. The world moves on. We don’t."
