Oscar will truly be remembered for his warm smile, friendly personality, and beautiful teeth and hair. We all admired him. My mother, aunt and sisters were with him several times and they always enjoyed his company. They are also sadden by his passing. Please accept our sincere sympathies and prayers. May God bless and strengthen you.
