Gary and Carolyn: Just heard about Bubba. So sorry for your loss. Last saw him at Uncle Doug's funeral. It's never easy to give someone up but when its unexpected and you didn't have a change to say goodby that's hard. If we know the Lord Jesus as our Savior we will meet again in heaven and what a family reunion that will be. May God comfort and give you strength for the days ahead. We will not be able to be at the memorial service but you all will be in our thoughts and prayers. Gary if there is anything we can do let us know. God Bless You All.
