Kathy, I just heard the sad news this morning, through the old First Baptist grapevine. Though I never met Bubba, I always heard stories about him through our common friends. All the stories were good ones. 42 years sounds like a long time, but it's far too short a time to spend with the one you love. I wish you better days. God rest Bubba, God bless you and the family. Arthur

Kathy my sister shared this very sad news of Bubba's passing. I am so sorry. Although it's been decades that I've laid my eyes on that handsome boy, my memories are vivid. He was so darn cute, and such a nice guy. I have wonderful memories. I hope you find peace. My heart aches for your loss.
