Linda, Trey and Brian we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Seems like it was only yesterday that we were all at the Pal-A-Me at Camp Linwood Haynes. We had such a good time. Wonderful memories. BL was such a good man and a pleasure to have known. Let us lift our eyes to the Lord, our Father, that we might see our world as He see's it. Help us to respond to the hurt around us. We see His hand stretching as far as the east is from the west. Father put your arms around BL's family and embrace them. Give them strength in their time of need. May God Bless you all.
With love,
Robert, Diane and Jacob Riffe

Dear Linda,Sons&Family,
Iam so very shocked and sadden about the passing of BJ.I got a call and a text message from two of my family members on Monday and this Wednesday morning.The last time I saw him was when you and he were down at our family's home after the ice storm; and the last time I talked with him on the phone was in late April about my computer issues. BJ knew how to solve my issues over the phone without me having to call technical support(smile).I will miss him very much.He was a very friendly, softspoken, selfless and kind gentleman; and also a very dear friend of our family. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers.
Sincerely,Brenda Neely,A friend of the family
