I just wanted to say that I am very sorry for your loss. I just recently lost my Mother (My Bestfriend) tommorow will be one month and it still seems like yesterday. I am hurting so much without her. I could not even imagine if I lost one of my sisters. Bubba seemed like a very good person from what I read about him. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey Bubba I haven't been on in a while and today I am missing you like crazy... I just wanted to tell you that I love you and miss you.... You have taught me something that has been hard for me to learn.... I am moving in 2 weeks to the big city, Milford has always been comfortable for me because I just needed to be in this house, but I know now that if I am ever going to be something bigger and better I have to move on and let my fears fall behind..... Some people don't understand why I have stayed so long, heck I don't sometimes, but I am over it and going to live a little, just like you did..... I miss you and so many others but I know you are all in better places..... Wish me luck and you guys watch over me please... LLOOVVEE YYOOUU!!!!!!

Tootie lit a candle on 27th June, 2008:

It's so hard with you being gone. We all miss you so much. I'll never forget the last weekend we partied together. I had a great time with you and jenn. Remeber when we were little and you lived in that house on crossmain? We used to play linking logs together and you had this cool art desk too. But, the linking logs were my favorite. I've always cherrished those times. John, you, and me also used to play army. When you lived behind the car wash and the new house was being built. There were rows of mounded dirt and we would hid behind them like we were under fire and army crawl. Then later on our favorite thing to do was go play HORSE on Glens basketball court. We used to have some fun times. You know, those yesterdays were really good. They are definetily biter sweet memories. I really miss you and my heart aches for Jenn. I had never seen you that in love with any one before. I really admired that you were such a free spirit. You are greatly missed. God rest your soul my freebird. Love you, you little shit. Love Tootie

Shelley Smith lit a candle on 21st June, 2008:

Bubba, I told Glen the other day, not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind. Matt and Megan keep a framed picture that Jenn gave them next to their computer screens so that your there with them. I look at it everyday in ahh that your really gone.
Megan has a collage of pictures on her wall, I added some finishing touches to it, Matt has his collage as well, and I've added you to my family wall of memories, so you will NEVER be forgotten.
I am doing what I can to help Glen and Sissy and Jennifer and your parents to get through this...they put up good fronts, but I know they are hurting especially your big brother, I know when he's hurting in his voice and I just remind him of the good times.
I will be going to visit your family July 4th and I am excited, another moment to share memories of you. You were soo loved on earth and even more loved in death. I will miss you!!!!

Hey Bubba, I had such a pleasure spending July 4th with your family. Your parents have made their new home in your honor...its awesome. I was telling your mom and dad, my intention was to find Michelle's house first, but when I came around that corner, before I even seen your truck parked in the front, I know that was the place you so loved. It's just beautiful. I told Sissy while we were talking, that I could feel your presence. That place was meant for your parents.
The day was great, sad, memorable and a celebration of your life.
Me and your parents were alone in their house up very late, your dad still had to get up early and go to work. But he wanted to talk, and we did, I've NEVER seen two parents in such pain, but so very proud of you. They are hurting so bad and I hurt for them, they've touched my life like noother family ever will.
You were so loved by them and Jenn, Glen, Sissy, Jeff and your nieces and nephews, I am in ahh the love and honor this family has for you.
Please watch everyone, especially your parents, for losing a child is the worst pain to bare.
We love you!!!
