To the family of Reatha Bateman Jones & Alton. Bubba will truly be missed. I remembered living in Georgia I was doing some yard work Bubba came past , with a smile and saids,” girl what you doing I said to him trying to plant this tree. He saids, first of all you holding the tool wrong , we both laughed he gave me a helping hand. Bubba was that kind of person. I just want you to know a limb has fallen from the family tree that says, to Reatha “Grieve not for me. A classmate of Reatha’s.
