To BJ's family: It breaks my heart to see that BJ is gone -- she was the first person to befriend me in Tulsa's quilting world, the first to invite and go with me to Quilters PowWow, the first to take quilting classes with me. She was so much fun and so supportive, our world is not nearly as bright without her. I remember talking to her, along with other friends one year at PowWow, about a few of her adventures in life. Someone said, "BJ, you sure are an interesting person!" And she said, "Yes, I am!" Then she laughed and laughed. I remember her talking about the little tree she planted many years ago in her backyard. She said one of her sons told her she wouldn't live long enough to see that tree get big, "but I sure did, didn't I!?" I will never forget that smile or those twinkling eyes or the many good times we enjoyed together!
