My best friend and favorite person and I was hers. I tried to call you yesterday and a few days after thinking you would pick up the phone. I miss you best friend! Can you pick up my calls? You know I gonna try to pick you up always and hold you in my lap. My sweet angel!

My favorite person in the world and she told me I was her favorite in the world. My best friend and my everything. I wasn’t ready and not ready to except this. I called your cell phone  hoping you would answer. Come back mom!!

A spirit of joy and love so large its impossible to understand how it fit in that tiny beautiful body. She was, and always will be, the picture of youth and vibrancy, the life of the party, the spark of joy in her eyes that lit up the room, the brave strong kind voice of love and grace. Unforgettable in every way.  Heaven has gained an amazing angel.

Our heartfelt condolences to the Finley & Leftwich families .🌹 Ms. Bernice will always be remembered by my family as a sweet, thoughtful and spiritual loving woman!  
Rest in Heavenly peace🙏🏾❤️🌹‼️
Your second family,
The Jimerson/Sharon Lee family

Rest in Peace, Auntie.  You lived a full, Blessed life.  Although we spent a short time together, it was a Blessing to have met your acquaintance.  Now you're at peace with the Father, our Creator, the Great, "I Am."  No more tears and sorrows to shed. Just smiles and love to share with the Father.  Again, "Rest in Peace." 
    
                                 Mr. Lawrence Cottle

A long life well served!  My condolences to the families of Bernice Finley Leftwich.  I'm glad that I had the chance to meet and speak with her (she was my cousin) at the family reunions, starting with the one in Detroit, MI.  In the days ahead, know that she is resting in peace and that her memories are alive within you.   Speak her name often and with love.

Sending my condolences to my family she will be missed
