So sorry to hear about Bubba. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Bubba was a good friend and neighbor. Rayshell, Misty and the rest of the family if there is anything we can do please let us know. He sure will be missed.
Mitsy and Jimmy and family, Inga and I send our love and prayers that God’s promise will give
you peace and comfort in the days to come.
Mitsy: I am so sorry to hear about Bubba. I know he has been through so much during his sickness and I am sorry he had to leave us, but I know he is much happier now with no more pain and only good things for him in Heaven. He was a good neighbor and a greater cousin. I will always miss seeing him next door and sorry that I can’t see him again. But when I get to heaven I will make sure I look for him. Then we both will have a celebration of life with our Saviour. I am so glad you came and took care of him. He was not one who wanted people to try and help him, but you are a wonderful sister and I know he will be missed by all of his brothers and sisters. If there is anything I can do for you or your family, please let me know.
I will keep all of you in my prayers. Love you all.
My uncle bubbles as I always called him… he made the best deer stew I have ever tasted… love you uncle bubbles until we meet again
So very sad for the loss of your brother. We have you in our prayers and thoughts dear one. May God comfort you and your family in this great loss.
He was such a sweet soul, so sorry to hear this. Prayers for his family.
