Mrs. Fletcher, Shelia, Angela and Family,
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. BJ. He was the Sealtest Man for my Dad's grocery store, C & P Grocery. He was always fair and square, kind, smiling, friendly and helpful. As the years progressed and I met Shelia and Angela, I would see where those same traits were prevalent in their daily lives. It was a blessing and a joy to know Mr. BJ and his family. May God bless you as you travel the road ahead. Be blessed.
