Mrs. Bernice Smith was one of the most kind-hearted, thoughtful, caring, sweetest and lovable people I have ever come to know. Soft-spoken but her God-gifted grace radiated outwardly to those blessed to experience her smile and soft voice. She has been very kind to me and Dad. She was a loyal Tougaloo College alum and devoted church member. Dearest Stephanie, we are sorry for your loss, however, I am grateful to God that he allowed you a beautiful time on earth with her and we will be praying for you and your family. -- In Christian Love, Denise D. Drake and H.T. Drake
