    Dearest Sonya, Shawn and Chris, My heart is saddened at B.J.'s passing. He was my first cousin, and the only cousin I, Bill, Barbara, John and Jim had. He was a wonderful person, and I remember when Mother would bring me and Jim to Chattanooga on the train to see Ben, Ida, and B.J. I would like to send to send a memorial in B.J.'s name to an organization/church he was especially fond of. Know that you are all in our prayers, and we love you. In His name, Anne

    Please accept my condolences and apology for not being able to attend. BJ was a good man and I know will be sorely missed. I will always remember the kindness he showed me when I was a child and the fun I had when ya'll came to visit. I always looked forward to your visits. I know he is in a better place and I'm sure at his favorite fishing spot. Fred
