My love and deepest condolences to the family and my prayers for strength in this time of sorrow and bereavement. "bubba" was a quiet and soft spoken young man and he will definitely be missed and not forgotten. may the love of God and the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all as you gather together in his memorial. may your thoughts be filled with joy as you remember days past and know that "bubba" is there with you in spirit. absent from the body present with the Lord. i love you all.
