Uncle Oscar was very special to me and my family and ,even though we were unable to get together often, I will miss him. I regret that my health prevents me from being with the family at this time but I will be with you in thought and prayer. Love to all of you.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Oscar's family. We didn't know Oscar very long, but enjoyed what time we did. May God comfort Lovita and Vita during their time of grief and know others are thinking of them.
