My heart is broken and aches for you all. I'm so very sorry for your loss. When I think of Bubba, I will always think summertime, childhood and his laugh. All the summers in Dunsmuir. Even though he had his friends, he tried to make sure I didn't feel left out or lonely. He looked out for me a lot, stood up for me when I couldn't, even though he was my younger cousin. That's just the way he was. Justin will forever be loved, we will always have him in our hearts. My thoughts are with you all.
