Bubba was playing Down By the River at the Village Idiot when Mike and I reconnected and fell in love.
I think of him whenever I hear 'our song' lol
He was some of the best energy I ever encountered.
That good "peasant stock" he would tell me his parents said lol

Bubba was an instant friend and any thought of him brings a joyous smile still. He is a reminder that good exists in this world.

Sometimes we are not aware of God's grace personified on earth. Andy was truely a gift. Thank you so much to the Thal family who were an integral part of my life when I was lost and needed a compass to find my way. Many thanks to Selma who opened their home for mourners and enveloped us with her hospitality. I find such peace knowing that Lenny has such an excellent partner. Thank you,Selma, for making the bereavent process easier for everyone.

Bubba, I miss you already. You were such a great friend to me and you were my husband's very best friend. Your mandolin playing has made me smile and your hugs swallowed me up! You have always been here for Jamey and I; whenever we needed a "handy man" you knew what to do. I loved sharing books with you, you were so very bright! I still cannot believe that I won't see you again. I love you with all my heart Bubbly and am grateful that you have now found peace.
