As Bobbi Kristina Brown continues "fighting for her life," E! News has learned that her family members will be holding a candlelight vigil tonight to send love and prayers to Whitney Houston's only daughter. 

The 21-year-old remains hospitalized and on life support nine days after she was found unconscious in her bathtub at her Georgia home by a friend of Bobbi Kristina's partner, Nick Gordon

"There is a candlelight vigil tonight to shine lights for Bobbi Kriss to get better," Shanye Brown, Bobbi Kristina's cousin tells E! News. "Keep praying for her." 

Per a post on Facebook, the "Shining a Light for Healing" vigil is open to the public and will take place at the Riverdale Town Center Amphitheatre in Riverdale, Georgia on Monday at 7 p.m. "Community members are encouraged to gather to give support for Bobbi Kriss and the entire Brown and Houston family," the post, which is accompanied by a smiling image of Bobbi Kristina, reads. "Participants are encouraged to bring signs, cell phones with lights, flash lights, or any other type of artificial light source."

Additionally, Shayne also revealed to E! News that the Brown family has resolved their differences following a bloody scuffle which occurred in the wee hours of Friday morning at the W Hotel in Atlanta shortly after a birthday dinner for Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina's father and the late Whitney Houston's ex-husband. 

Per the police report, Shayne was struck in the head with a bottle by Bobby's sister Tina Brown. A source also told TMZ that there was "blood everywhere" as a result of the brawl, which took place around 1 a.m. 

"Last Thursday, our family came together to show Uncle Bobby love on his 46th birthday," Brown tells E! News. "Understandably, this is an emotional time for our family right now.  We may not always agree. But whatever misunderstandings occurred that night have been resolved.  We are family and at this time there is nothing more important to my mother, me and our entire family then remaining united together in love for my cousin Bobbi Kriss."

Shayne's comments come amid the news that Nick Gordon was not present for his Atlanta court appearance today on charges of reckless driving. His attorney, Michael Lascala, was there on Nick's behalf and Gordon's case was continued. 

"The case was reset today to a date in the future—probably a couple months," Lascala tells E! News. 

Bobby Brown is currently "investigating the events" that led up to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina, he said in an announcement last week while also clarifying that his daughter was never married to Gordon. 

We're told that Nick has visited Bobbi Kristina following her hospitalization, despite the history of tension between his family and hers.

Meanwhile, Jason Derulo and Toni Braxton are the latest celebs to send kind words of support to Bobbi Kristina and her loved ones. 

"All my prayers and well wishes are going to that family," Derulo told E! News at the Warner Music Group annual Grammys celebration while Braxton echoed similar sentiments at Clive Davis' pre-Grammys gala, "My thoughts and prayers go out to that family."
