With all my/our heart and soul, BJ!  You'll be missed, but never, ever forgotten!!!

FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL FRIEND

She       Laughed with infectious gusto
 Lived life to the fullest
 Labored unfailingly
 Loved grandly
She of
 Unabashed confidence
 Uncompromising standards
 Unrelenting purpose
 Unflappable poise
She remarkable
 Fearless against all odds
 Festive for life is to be lived
 Formidable in any arena
 Fun loving, but you'd better hang on for dear life
She with
 Instinctive wisdom
 Irreverent sense of humor
 Inscrutable judgment
 Indomitable will
She the 
 Consummate woman
 Competitive always
 Conciliatory if warranted (mostly)
 Compassionate and deep
She
 No better friend could be found
 No worthier an opponent
 No equal in love for family and friends
 No brighter star in the heavens

GOD BLESS OUR FRIEND

Serena, My deepest sympathies on the loss of such a special person. I see so much of you in your mother's pictures. I now know exactly where your effervescent smile comes from. Take care of yourself and your family.

BJ was such a dear friend, co-worker and beautiful spirit.  I will miss her smile, her laugh, and our conversations.  My heart goes out to Jim, her mother, her kids and all the family.  She will truly be missed but never forgotten.

James, I am praying for you this day and always.  I know Barbara is in heaven with our savior. Prayers will heal your broken heart. Will be in touch. Love, Martha

I am in such disbelief. Deep in my soul, I feel this loss. You were truly loved, truly admired, and you will be truly missed. You were an inspiration to all with your energy, intelligence, and as my dad used to say "get up and go" or "go-get-it-ness". R.I.P. my friend. You were loved.
