I will miss her and am thankful for the time we had together and the wonderful memories. Our condolences to Doug, her children and all the members of her wonderful family. What a blessing to have known her.

B.J was a wonderful woman. She inspired me so much over the years as I too struggle with my cancer. Her warm smile and loving heart will be missed. But our cherished memories will live forever. God Bless

Very saddened to see this. I grew up with Betty Jo, Ernie and Dennis and enjoyed going to pony shows with them for many years. Betty Jo was my first girlfriend back in those days even though I was probably too young to know what a girlfriend was.
She was, however, very special.
