I remember many fun times with Betty Jean. Like so many of our classmates she died too young. I will always remember her fun loving spirit and the twinkle in her eye....maryjane Boggini-Atkins

I've been looking for BJ for awhile, and am so sad to finally find her deceased. We had much fun in high school together, and even took a trip to NYC for a day. All we did was laugh -- at getting lost in the wrong part of town, having dinner at a swanky place where I sat down on the white table cloth corner and pulled everything into my lap, etc. We sang "Will you still love me tomorrow" all the way home! Must have been the song of the day, as every radio station was playing it, and it's probably part or the reason I'm beginning to lose my hearing! God Bless you BJ, and may you rest in peace forever!

I remember BJ from typing class. She was a fun person. It seemed as though everyone loved BJ. She had so many friends. She died so young as did my husband. He was only 46. So many from our class are gone.
