Well Bubba it has been one month ago today at this very moment in time that you slipped away from us. I know in my heart you are now at peace and in no more pain however, we miss you everyday. It really touches my heart to hear all the people that knew how big of a heart you had. Well I love you my brother and miss you!

I was so sorry to hear that Jimmy had passed away. I know that Mama & Daddy, Agnes & Roy Alexander, were sad, too. When I came home from Georgia the first year and Jimmy came over to see Daddy, I told him we moved to Lyerly, GA. He said he knew where that was because he had a son named Donnie that lived just north of us in Summerville, GA. I thought what a small world we live in. I always enjoyed hearing Daddy and Jimmy carry on about something or other. We will all miss him. I was born in 1957 and don't remember very many years that Jimmy wasn't a neigbor.
We put the whole Davis/Cave family on our church prayer list. We have also kept you in our prayers at home.
In HIS Name,
John Basel
