I would just like to say, I'm so greatful to have to witness a small morsel of the songs God placed on his heart. When the gates swing open, was an anthem in our house on sunday morning... Sleep on my Brother, I'll see you on the other shore...

I didn't know Otis had passed away .Long after... He looked so much like my brother. Who has passed on as well. My brother couldn't sing at all. But Otis could. To the family , I know I am late with my "Condolences, but I had to let you know that your love one could sing ! His singing lefted you up it gave me a push to hold your head up and keep trying. I believe that in order to lift people up like he did ... God gave him a wonderful gifts .To reach out to help people all over the world.....
