So very sad to hear the news about Bubba. We all had so many fun times over the years whether it was down at the lake, ski trips out West, or Bubba scaring Buffy and I late night at the Carter house. He will be missed and we pray for comfort for the whole family.

There are many great memories of 'babysitting' Bubba, Kim, and Buffy when they we little. We had many fun swims with tadpoles down my swim bottoms, driving around town in Ronnie's car, and enduring Bubba's pranks and fun. My deepest condolences to everyone in the carter family.

Such a wonderful person. I had the opportunity to see David just last week. He always took the time out of his busy schedule to talk with me when he came to the bank. I am glad I had the opportunity to know such a great person. Prayers for the family.
