Aunt Betty Jean was the one of the nicest caring people I ever met. When I was growing up she always treated me as one of the family and I always cherished the times . I told my brother and sister long ago I wished everyone did not move away because I always missed them. Even though we lived far away I always thought about her and Patty and Grandma. They all were very special to me and the entire Brown and Kazar family. Years ago my brother and I went to visit Aunt Betty Jean and Uncle Ernies house and did not want to leave. It was special to me. I never told you this but you were my favorite Aunt and I love you. Thank you for everything you ever did for me. Love Raunch
The tributes that have been posted about my cousin BJ shows what such a wonderful women she was. Her beautiful husband and family have been graced by her love and warmth all these years. Clearly she was someone that everyone wanted to know and be around. My memories of my cousin when we were kids will stay with me always. Hugs to her husband Ernie during this time. Sleep in Heavenly Peace BJ.
