Hello OD...time has past and so many memories has followed me since you have been gone. You are missed dearly and yes, I have been in the kitchen (lol) I can remember those famous dishes you cooked. I just wish I could make the hot water cornbread like you and that great pot of Cow's Foot...I celebrated our 22nd year anniversary on April 5th down at our place and played your record "What Do You Do When You Love Somebody" This year has gone so fast and I look forward seeing you again one day...RIP my dear husband

Condolences to the family. Loosing a loved one is always rough. Memories of better times will help you to cope with a loss that can't be replaced. Lean on each other and pray to God for support. "Truly God has heard; He has paid attention to the voice of my (your) prayer." Psalm 66:19

Oh how sad I am to hear of Otis's passing. Even though I didn't know him very well, my dear Mark loved him like a brother. He had such an amazing effect on Mark, I don't know whether he even knew how much. I will always remember the "off the cuff" eulogy he gave for Mark. What an amazing and wise man the world has lost. Sometimes we are lucky enough to meet people with whom we have such a connection which results in such a positive effect on our lives. Otis was this to Mark. I'm sure they are having a great time together in heaven. My heart goes out to Deborah and Jasmine - I know your pain is more than one should ever have to bear. I'm here and Rachael is here too if you ever need to connect with someone who really understands. I love you and wish you didn't have to know this pain. (((((((hugs))))))))

Dear My Darling Husband...you left us suddenly and my heart was not prepared for you to go but I know you were always prepared for death. You always looked at the obituaries and today I granted your wish and your death notice is in the obit section. I will miss you daily and I will continue to stay strong. I will always remember your favorite song "What Would You Do When You Love Somebody" well you did a lot for me...you made sure that I had the best of foods and ate right. I will miss those great meals. Some day we will be back together.
Love Your wife
