Bubba:
It is so hard to say goodbye. I miss you already. Thank you for the life we shared until we meet again. I love you.
Bubba, I know you are in Heaven and have gained you angel wings you so rightly deserve. And even though you suffered here on earth you never once complained. That always showed me just how strong you really were. I love you very much!! Will see you again one day. PS.. I found a Penney the day you left us. I know it was from you…💙😇
I was blessed to have met you and spent time with you for a short period in my life. Always admired how you always looked out for your siblings and how close you were to all. Always ready to lend a helping hand whenever needed. The silliest things that made you laugh, and bring that beautiful smile. The memories that we made will forever be in my heart. Gone too soon. Fly high Angel.
