I was so sorry to hear about Bubba. I just heard about it today from my sister. I would have come to pay my respects if I had known. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. I know he will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry to have read about your loss. I did not even know that Bubba was ill nor did I know about this loss of one of our family members until I just read it in the paper. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We have known Bubba and Bitsy for 28 years. I'll always remember having coffee together in the early AM while Jake and Bitsy slept late the numerous times when we visited their home, at the campgrounds in Myrtle Beach and our home in Sneads Ferry. Bubba and I were the early risers. Jake will miss talking to Bubba about hunting and all the deer that come up into their yard. Bubba would share tales of the rescue squard and Jake would talk to Bubba about the Red Cross. After our move to Sneads Ferry, Bubba and Bitsy helped us paint. What a good time we had. We worked and laughed well together. Bubba never got to have coffe with me in the new screen room that we had added on to enjoy the view of the boats coming and going up and down the waterway. I will always think of Bubba as I enjoy coffee out there. Jake will miss having a great friend in Richmond. We will miss you Bubba. Our memories will last us until we see Bubba again in heaven.
Love Lou and Jake

We will always hold fond memories of Bubba in our heart. We were neighbors for thirty years and always enjoyed having him come over for a cup of coffee and a chat. Though, he and Fred never solved any of the world's problems they sure tried. A great neighbor, a gentle man and a friend. I know he will be missed but his memory will be with us.

Bitsy,
Sorry to hear about your loss. Jan called last night but didn't know any details. I would have come by the funeral home if I'd known the time and place. I'll try to call you sometime. God Bless You and keep you strong in adversity. Love, Marie
