I remember my first cousin "Bubba", when I was a child visiting Uncle Alton and Aunt Francis with my Mom, and my Dad Elzie. He was older than me, and called me "Tobacca". Now, I have a Grandson named "Brannen", and his little brother Jaden calls him "Bubba".
I extend my deepest sympathy to all the family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
