Please accept my condolences in your loss of Bubba. It's been many years since I've seen him, as I moved away. He worked at Superior Machine with my late first husband Tim Powell. Tim lost his leg in a motorcycle accident & went through many surgeries. Bubba was Tim's only friend from Superior who visited, called & always checked on him. Bubba always lifted Tim's spirits. We were blessed with a little girl a few years after Tim was hurt. No one could make her smile and chuckle like Bubba. It is both a an honor and a privilege to have known him. I am sure he touched many lives. Bubba, may you rest peacefully in the arms of the loving God who created you. You were the epitome of a true friend. May God bless you all.

I only knew Bubba for a short amount of time, but he always brought a smile to my face and I looked forward to coming into work knowing that he was going to be my patient. We bonded over quick, whitty remarks lol. Amanda, my deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Thank you for letting us take care of your father and sharing a piece of him with us. I am heart broken.

With much love Lyssa, RN - your SICU family
