I have very fond memories of Bubba. Just last week I was dicussing a trial I had in Judge John Ray Harrison's court when Bubba was the reporter. As it turned out in that trial, I had to depend on the accuracy of Bubba's court reporting on a key point, and his record was perfect. I am sorry that a trial in Dallas prevented me from attending the service. My sympathies are with you.

Peace I leave you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
Prayers for that peace, Dolores. God knows it hurts, and so do I, but we are thankful with you and the children for Bubba's life and the grace he celebrates now.
My love,
Linda
