I'm so sorry to hear of Betty Jean's passing. Of all mom's first cousins, she was one of my favorites! Even as a little kid, she'd take the time to talk to me and ask me questions about my life. As I grew older she was still that person that you could always talk to and she'd be interested in everything. I didn't get to see her as often as I would have liked, but I always got caught up on the first cousin news after one of their mini-reunions. Her spirit and kindness will be missed.

So sorry that I will not be able to attend the services but will be with you in spirit. I have many fond memories of spending time with Aunt BJ and my cousins in Tulsa and Glasgow when I was growing up. You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

B.J. was a legend in the Green Country Quilters Guild. She will be greatly missed. All of us felt privileged to see the many beautiful quilts she made throughout her lifetime, and it is comforting to think she left so many treasures behind for her family. Our condolences from everyone in the GCQG.

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!

To the family of B. J. Strickland: I was so sorry to hear of the passing of B.J. She was a wonderful lady and great quilter. I knew her thru Green Country Quilters Guild and from a group at the Cotton Patch Quilt store. She was a very prolific quilter and always seemed to be working on a quilt for grandchild graduating from college or a new baby in the family. She was one of the last hand quilters around and could quilt really fast. We have missed her since she had to quit coming to the stitch group. Some of us, including the people who worked at the Cotton Patch are meeting with another group at the Methodist Church in Broken Arrow since the store closed. I know you are going to miss her as will everyone who knew her.

To the family of BJ, I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I met BJ when I joined Green Country Quilters Guild 10 years ago. She was a wonderful quilter, and always kind and friendly. I saw BJ last year at University Village while visiting with my father-in-law, and we had a nice chat. She was a strong woman who I admired and I shall miss her. I am very sorry that I will be unable to attend her service, but please know that I will be there in thought and prayers. God Bless you and I shall also keep your family in my prayers. Karen Scharf

Dear Strickland family. I am so sorry to have read of the death of Betty Jean. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that I have personally found to be comforting. It is found in the Bible at John 5:28, 29 and Revelation 21:4. These verses tell us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our dear loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering, including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my hope that these thoughts will comfort your family also.
