You will be greatly missed sweet Bubba. You were a true blessing to our family…Rest in Peace! We love you! Sending prayers!🙏❤
We are thinking of ALL OF YOU with much, much love. Take care and know that Bubba and your relationships with him caused many of us to smile a lot through the years. He was certainly easy to love, and he did love to tease and have fun. Y’all gave him, in return, a love-filled, happy life. What a legacy on all parts! Take care.

Bubba made this world a better place!
To all of the family, my thoughts, prayers and love are with you all. I will miss seeing all of you today as you celebrate and share the stories in the celebration of Bubba’s life. As a young child, Bubba scared me, but as I reached my teens I grew to love him like everyone else. Bubba has hugged, kissed and loved more girls and Pretty Ladies, as he would say, than any man on God’s Green Earth. He was always smiling and so kind hearted, we were blessed to have him in our large extended family. Robin and TuTu, Aunt Jen and Uncle Thedo are grateful for your wonderful loving care that you and your siblings have given Bubba since their deaths and are rejoicing that they are together with him in eternal life. I know Bubba is rejoicing too. He will be missed by so many, but the memories that he has left with all that knew and loved him will live on forever. Thinking of you all with love, Elizabeth Green Moseley
