Condolence: Dearest Maria, and All of Tom's family - I wish so much I could be with all of you today. I am in the heart though, and in Spirit and hope that you will feel the presence of my love and honor for your father. I don't have to doubt that our "Bubba" knows - for he was the very first person to reveal God's Grace to me - at thirty-six years old he introduced me to a Faith so powerful and eternal, that his Legacy of Unconditional Love can't help but to continue its Flight through our lives. I was truly blessed to have such an Angel-? LOL! (what a brilliant disguise God gave YOU Bubba!) show up in my life- utterly broken and hopeless - You took what I perceived to be my "worthless" life - and One Day At A Time, with patience, tolerance, pepsi, and 1000% trust and belief - You showed me the Way Home, Bubba...THANK YOU for that. I will miss you much my friend, and hearing your ol' familiar greeting and the question of "When you comin' home 'Bubba'?"-for the past 7 years- but I have an image in my mind's eye, of the beautiful, simple, loving you-forever in your "Easy Chair", with that sparkle in your eye and just want your children and all those who get to be there in your presence today, that the Amazing Bubba taught me - that WE are Home when we learn to Love the Unlovable -and the Light Carriers that show US the Way.
May God's Blessings Shine on all of us today - in Memory of a true Friend, who never hesitated to help carry whatever burden he could of another's no matter WHO you were - the weight of our tears never mattered to him, only that he had the opportunity to perhaps wipe away ONE - Bubba knew that with one kindness or one touch, he could be wiping away the very ONE that weighs 10,000 lbs. - Anyway, I thank you for inviting me into this day with all of you - am holding you all "In The Light" - And wherever you are Bubba - I hope you're having an awesome time "Livin' on the Edge!" Wishes for Peace, Love and Light,
Jill Adler (Harverson) a.k.a. "Jilly-Bob!"

Condolence: God Bless you Maria and all of your family. So loved in life, and so wonderful a father/husband/brother/grandpa and son. He lived life to the fullest and passed on so many memories that you have shared with me along the way. May you know that he will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
