Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry for your loss. I had to smile at Dr. Wrisley's comment about how his pastoral visits to BJ made him feel better. I delivered books to BJ from Crandall Library, but I'm pretty sure I got more out of it than she did.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It was certainly a blessing to count BJ as friend. She was the embodiment of a life well lived and her smile and cheerful attitude always brought sunshine to those around her.

BJ was a good friend She was wise and loving and enriched my life. I will miss her. J

We are so sorry for your loss! BJ was a wonderful neighbor (since 1997) always with a cheerful word and smile! Enjoyed just stopping by when she was outside sitting on her porch just to chat, about quilts she would ask about my grandsons with a true interest of what they were up to! May you always remember her wonderful smile that could bring your own sadness to a smile.

So sorry for your family's loss. BJ was a lovely person, so vibrant and full of life. My family knew her through church. I will never forget when she stepped up and took on four teenage girls and formed a youth group with them. My daughter was one of them. What a wonderful year they had with her. She will be missed by so many, and I'm so glad I was able to have lunch with her a year or so ago. Her memory will live on. Sincere condolences.
