We are so saddened by the loss of Osman. Such a fine young man and still smiling the last time we had visited him at his Dad's home. He got so good at the sign language and had us laughing with that great sense of humor. We were blessed to have gotten to see him and know that it is true that God does take the good ones young. We will cherish our time with him forever.... We are sure that Osman is right up there with the best of them and not suffering any longer. Ozzie, everytime we watch the Patriots and see Wess Welker we will think of you. Love you forever.
Your Uncle Doug and Aunt Mara oxox

I am so very sorry for your loss of Ozzie. I went to St. Mary of the Hills School with him when we were litte. I will carry the memory of a happy, loving and always smiling picture of young Ozzie in my mind always. I am very sad that I wasn't able to reconnect with him. But from what I have read from others I have comfort in knowing that he touch so many lives and that he is not suffering. Osman I will keep you in my prayers and I know you are in a beautiful place with God's love all around you.

Sincerely,
Kristin Perry

To the Cabral family:
Ozzie was such a wonderful young man and the world is a lot less brighter hearing about his passing. His smile and laughter would just light up the room. The Red Line will not be the same without him. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers and pray that your faith in GOD will sustain you through this difficult time. Ozzie, may you Rest in Peace.

I will never forget how thoughtful, caring and friendly Ozzie was to me. He was an amazing person. I will deeply miss how his smile and warm personality brought joy to many people on the Red Line.

Words cannot express my deep sadness at this time. There aren't enough tears that I can shed to express my feelings.
I went to St. Mary of the Hills with Ozzie & I can honestly say, that he was an amazing person! I still remember one of the last school dances we had before we graduated in 86, it was on my birthday & I was feeling really low & Ozzie came over, sat beside me & then asked me I would dance with him. He always knew how to put a smile on my face, as well as everyone else's. He was such an amazing friend to me. After we graduated, his birthday was the only birthday I could ever remember out of all my friends, ....April 2; And every year, even though we haven't been in contact since, I have wished him a Happy Birthday!

There is a group of us from St. Mary's who have ironically been trying very hard to locate Ozzie via Facebook. I just found him 2 weeks ago & sent him a message...Now I understand why there was no response. I only wish that I had had the oportunity to say Good Bye to him.

I am so sorry for your loss... One comfort we can take is knowing that he will be looking down on all of us & keeping us all safe. My thoughts, prayers, & love goes out to all of you at this time of sorrow.

God bless you all!

Dear Mr. Cabral,
I cannot begin to imagine the depths of your loss at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now and in the future. Ozzie was a great friend to me and my family. He was like the little brother I never had. As good of a friend that he was to me, I know he was an even greater son to you. He will be missed and is still loved but he will never be forgotten. Please allow us to continue to be part of your life. We would be honored to visit with you and watch our daughter grow up together.
Peace be unto you and your family. May you find the strength to continue to live a fulfilling life remembering the blessing that was and is Ozzie.

God Bless...
