I remember PeaWea being one of the coolest moms, I never seen her angry. I used to think if I was to run away, I would run to her because I thought she was so cool and respectful and she raised her kids to be respectful as well. Rest your soul in peace! Carla and Mama, I am honored to be here to celebrate your mother’s transitioning with you. Love you all!

Seeing this leaves me at a loss for words. My heart is heavy just to write on this today. Peawea you already know how I feel about you. I am missing you and this just happened . You have been the sweetest Aunt a Niece can ever have. I will truly miss the greeting between you to me.. Not one time but every single time we spoke on the phone. This is what you have said to me since I can remember. Hello- What’s up Bernise? To end the conversation you would always say to me”I love you my Niece”. I keep hearing your voice in my head saying this and I will keep the memory of you and your voice in my heart FOREVER❤️ I Love you Peawea (My Sweet Auntie) And you will be truly missed. The family will never be the same without you and all I can do is cry. Love and Kisses Bernise Cunningham
