    Amy and I are very heartbroken over the passing of Bubba. He was a very special friend to me. I was very honored to be a part of his wedding. Also Amy and I were very honored to have him be a part of our wedding. He will be truly missed.

    I am so sorry to hear of Bubba's passing. I knew him through Adult and Children's Choir at First Baptist Jackson. He was always so faithful and cheerful in serving the Lord! I look forward to seeing him again in Heaven. Prayers for his family.

    Miss Maxine,
    I am so so sorry to hear about Bubba..?
    I had no idea he was so sick and I am lifting y’all up in my prayers. I bet Mama, Daddy and Mr. Earl Lloyd are teaching him how to play Bridge!

    Please always know how sweet and good he was to me and Amy…and he will always be the friend I had that knew how to make me laugh even if I was down.

    God bless you and Peggy tonight. So so sorry ?
