It makes me well up thinking about this. The Creelpeople are the very first family I remember as a young kid. I remember fondly the Christmas Even parties and pool time hang outs. I am thankful for Dunc being there for my mom when the shit was hitting the fan. I am grateful I got to see BJ at mom’s 75th birthday party. Rest in peace, BJ. You will be missed.

Duncan, Lori, Scott, We started of as neighbors and became , Chosen Family. BJ and I loved our collections and Hallmark. Vacations were always wonderful for the four of us. Funny memories, Duncan would escape to our home when BJ was packing for upcoming vacations. Like me, she packed her whole wardrobe. Duncan and BJ have always been a roll model with their marriage, wonderful examples with their children and their church. I am sure heaven will have a special angel for her with black and white spots. She will be missed, we loved BJ. Our forever love, Debbie and Chris

I am so sorry for this loss. I worked with BJ at CCDSS and she taught me so much about foster care and adoptions. I always said we were related because she was so much like my grandmother (but not old enough to be) and we shared the same maiden name so I just knew we had to be related! She was a very knowledgeable lady and I appreciated everything she did for me. She changed so many people’s lives for the better. And of course she was famous for her litte red car! Rest in Peach BJ and fly high with the Angels!

Duncan, I am so sorry to hear of BJ’s passing. Unfortunately I only met BJ twice, once in Florida at Chris and Debbie’s home in Apopka, FL and once when you and BJ adopted Thumper, one of our Brittany puppies. Thumper and now Paris were adopted into a wonderful loving, caring home. This is a difficult time for you and your family. Roger and I send prayers for all to get through this difficult time. As you and I talked about, please do not hesitate to reach out to us if there is anything we can do.

Celebrating a person who lived a full and lovely life. To an enjoyable and appreciated couple who I have had the pleasure of providing medical care to for two and a half years. I’m lucky to have known Miss BJ. Prayers for you Duncan and your family at this time, Dr. Lough

Our family shared so many wonderful memories of worshipping together with B.J. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. It was always a real joy getting together with our families for church services, fellowship activities, as well as fundraisers and outreach programs. In addition, we met socially for parties and dinners that were always so much fun! We will treasure these great memories forever. At this very difficult time, we are lifting up in prayer, Duncan, and the entire Creelman Family. Please take care in the days ahead, dear friends.

There are so many memorable times spent with B.J. over the years. As young parents there was a group of us connected through church who spent countless times together, some calm, some not so calm. I remember most how much we enjoyed being together and the never ending laughs. B. J. was always the perfect hostess at these events, and sometimes had to be the only grown up in the room. Those memories have now become treasures. My heartfelt sympathy to the family of this very special friend.
