A Father & Husband Prayer

Please God Forgive a Silent Tear,
A constant wish that he was here.
Others were taken,yes I know, but
He was mine and I love him so.
He bid no one a last farewell,
nor even said good-bye.
He was gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why!
If all the world were ours to give,
I'd give it all and more, to see that,
loving face of his just once more!
To those who have a husband,father,
son or brother, treasure him with
care, for you never know his value,
"Til you see his vacant chair.

I'm deeply saddened to here of the passing of Otis. My father and I enjoyed his presence whenever he came by our store on Roosevelt Rd. He surely will be missed.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Fleming...
You know I'm feelin you right now, praying for strength for you & your
entire family. Keep praising God right now girlfriend...How blessed you
are to have had such a wonderful father here with you for 50
years. "What a Man, What a Man, What a mighty Good Man!" God
has picked a beautiful flower for his heavenly bouquet. Your personal
"Angel" to watch over you! I love you and can't wait to see you. Love,
Jackson

Pops,

Though I know you're always here, I will miss you so much. You are such a dear friend of mine. Thanks you so very much for sharing part of your precious life with me.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Lynda:
You and your family have my most heartfelt sympathy in the passing of your father, Otis. I remember you Dad as a very kind, caring and generous person. I have very fond memories of him bringing you to my Aunt's house...for parties and playtime.
I also remember him as a very good citizen. He would always help me with community outreach when I called on him. I was always proud to state that I knew him.
He will be missed.
Love Always

To the Otis Fleming family,
I just wanted to offer my deepest condolances. My Father would have been sad to hear of Otis's death. My Dad had become good friends with Otis during their time together in the Chicago police force. Otis was a great man.
Sincerely, the family of Daniel V. Willimason

Dear Linda,
This note is to express my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Otis was a very special person both to me and my family.

May your memories and the kind words of others help you during this very sad time.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers during this time. Otis will be sadly missed, but fondly remembered as a special person whose warmth and kindness was shared with everyone that knew him. These memories will live on in my friendship and bond to you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. With heartfelt sympathy.

Otis. I think back to the old days at O'Hare when I met you. You always had kind words for everyone,and your advice was always given from the heart. We'll all miss you. After all the good you did for everyone, it is now time for you to be rewarded. Rest easy, old friend.

To the family of Otis, May God give you strength and understanding during this tough period....my thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends and whomever came in contact with Otis. He had a beautiful spirit...God Bless

No one will ever be like you. You were the "Best" ever.

How lucky I am to have been loved so well.

Thank You, Lynda for sharing your Dad with me.

Love Anita

"Tis a time for every season". But there is never a season to say good-bye. So we will not say good-bye dear Otis, for you will always be remembered in the hearts of those you touched. Whether a broken pipe or a broken heart, you were always there. If indecision was going east or west, you always knew what road to walk. If no one listened, you always heard. Your compassion, your understanding, your strength and most of all your smile will be so dearly missed. You were always there for so many people. Thank you for sharing and giving us so much of yourself. You will live on in our hearts and will always be remembered with gratitude and love.

To the family of Otis Fleming,
Please take comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many people who loved Otis and the lives he touched. may God bless you all.

I was deeply saddend to hear of Otis" passing. I grew up with "mook" on the west side of the city. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Godspeed, my dear friend.

Good,Good...Goodbye...Dear Uncle/Father,(only for now.)I know that you know,that I know, and Lynda knows, all that you taught us. You were so very wise, and thru your wisdom...oh so funny. Me too, thanks to you. Lynda's pretty funny also, and wise. We listened. One of my favorite quotes from you...teaching me of the ways of the world..."Does not a bear boo-boo in the woods?" Yes, my Dear Uncle, bears are "still"...boo-boo-ing. Your spirit will always and forever...echo in my heart, mind and spirit.
Tell my daddy, Conrad, hello. I can
not wait 'til we all meet again.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family for the loss of your loved one. i recently loss my grandmother so i understand what you are going through. God Bless!

My condolences to Otis's family. I met Otis at O'hare Field Detail 1970. He was one of the first men to welcome me and help me in those first days of assignment. I always enjoyed talking and laughing with Otis. He was a kind and gentle man who carried a big stick when it was needed. God Bless you and I am glad your pain and suffering are now over. Amen

Otis will be missed by all that new ,I had the pleasure of working with Otis at O'Hare Field.Just as Gen.D. MacArthur once said,"old soldiers never die,they just fade away",until we are at the old roll call room again, rest easy Otis,God watch over you.

My Popo, my Daddy, my best friend. Yesterday I spent most of my 50th birthday reflecting on many of the countless memories we've made. Your strength and determination always amazed me my Daddy, so perhaps that is why I thought you'd never leave. Even in those final days you somehow managed to find enough strength to make me laugh, tell me how happy you were to have me by your side and most of all how very much you loved me. I am so proud to have been "your baby" and grateful to God for every moment we shared. I will love you and "remember" eternally.

Your one and only,

Lynda (Tweekie)

Otis always brightened my day.
You are in our prayers Otis.
