May God bless and keep you in your time of bereavement. I met Otho at the National Funeral Directors & Morticians Association Convention in Las Vegas and we stayed in contact with each other for several years.

Odessa,
I was taken by surprised when I read about the death of Otho in the Sun-Times. It has been many, many, years since Harper High School, but I have fond memories of you and your family and have thought of you often. Look to the hills, which cometh your help. God is faithful.
