I was there for her. I buried one of my dearest friends. I was not going to get caught up in the minutia of where [the funeral] was held. This was a home-going service she would have been proud of. She was always controversial, so it's not surprising her funeral was controversial. -Lynn Cothren

Eddie Long and Bernice hugged and embraced me. Bernice and I don't agree on every issue, but I love her like a sister. She is part of my extended family.
