*Tamera Mowry-Housley honored her late niece Alaina Housley with a loving tribute she shared on social media over the weekend. 

Alaina died two years ago when 28-year-old former Marine Ian David Long opened fire on the crowd at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, on Nov. 7, 2018. 

Police found Long dead of a self-inflicted gunshot, CNN reported. 

On Saturday, Mowry-Housley posted a throwback photo of Alaina holding Tamera’s baby girl Ariah, along with a video clip of her neice and her daughter in a swimming. Alaina was 18 at the time of her death.

“There are days I loop my LIVE photos just to get a glimpse of you; your spirit, your smile, your kindness. 2 years without you…it still hurts,” she captioned the clip. “I miss my Lai Lai. The kids still talk about you and know you are their personal angel.”

“Alaina was an incredible young woman with so much life ahead of her and we are devastated that her life was cut short in this manner,” Mowry-Housley added.
