Leiza and Jim- I only just learned of your mom's passing recently and am so very sorry.  BJ and I became friends when she was in nursing school in Charleston and had a deep and special friendship for 70  years.  She was my beautiful bridesmaid in 1957 when I married Jack, and we were there to see her and Jim marry in 1960.  As couples, we enjoyed many fun times together and long talks over the years....no matter where we lived. I will always treasure those memories!  
I loved your mom very much and will miss her dearly! 

With  love and sympathy, 
Barbara Martschink Mobley

Dear Leiza and Jim,
We knew and loved your Mom, BJ, and will truly miss not having
her with us for so many reasons. She and your Dad were our
neighbors and friends for so long and how we missed them
when they went to live in Hilton Head..we only got to visit twice,
but emailed often, usually fun things!
She will truly be missed!
With love,
Eva and Bernie

Dear Leisa, Jimbo and family.I knew and loved you and your mom  when you lived in Jacksonvlle, Fl.  We had a wonderful friendship and many great times solving the world's problems. Your mom was fun , smart and a very special person. Her prayers helped me in a very dark time. She touched my life in many ways. I will never forget her. Please accept my sincerest sympathy. Love, Patsy

We were privileged to know Betty Jean through her daughter, our dear friend, Leiza Brock and her husband, Reuben Brock. Sending prayers of comfort to the entire family

I myself,  had some wonderful memories with Bj.
My fondest, was sitting around Faye and Jim's kitchen table, having appetizers and a few cocktails. 
Of course, Bj had already eaten her nightly chicken pot pie. 
We listened to her stories, laughed and had fun for hours.
Leiza and Jim, it was a pleasure, and blessing, to have known your dear mother. 
She was  loved by so many.  I will miss you.
Godspeed

Love to my cousins Leiza and Jim. I remember well visiting in the summer. My Aunt Betty Jean was always so very sweet to me. She would also make sure that Uncle Jim made me his signature Sticky Rice!

Prayers to the family.  Mrs.B. was special.  I am blessed to have known her and the whole family. Mr.B. was my boss for a number of years. I will always treasure special memories of the family. Love, Judy Price

Dear Leiza and Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.  BJ is a gift for which our family will be eternally grateful.  Later in life she shared such a beautiful and loving friendship with my aunt Carol.  I loved visiting with them both when I could get down there to visit and felt such heartfelt gratitude for the happiness they brought into each others daily lives.  They both seemed amazed that they could forge a bond of true and loving friendship in the latter part of their lives, but they were truly blessed, as we all are to have known them both.  I will always think of BJ as a member of the family and she (and your whole family) will remain in my heart, thoughts, and prayers.

Much Love, Peace, and God Bless,

Darragh (Houlihan)
