I Pray that all is well and May God continue to hold all of you through days ahead.. In His Grace Jane Wyatt (Gibe)

Offering my heartfelt condolences in behalf of the Cottingham family and friends in this time of grief. May the God of comfort strengthen you in the days ahead.

So many of the Woodlawn grads will fondly remember Coco. He was fun, kind, a great football player and always had a smile. We had great times together in Panama City, at sorority gatherings and in the hallowed halls of Woodlawn. Love and comfort to the family. He was a shining light.

So sorry for your loss. I remember a great guy and a really good football player with whom i was privileged to play at Woodlawn. God Bless

So sad to hear about Otis's passing. He was a super great guy and wonderful friend thru our high school years and beyond. He had a wonderful family...Don,Renee and his mom and dad.It was a honor and privilege to be like a family with them all. Otis will be greatly missed by all that knew him with his chuckle and his saying " Otis Knows ". The world lost a great guy but Jesus gained a fortune. Our heart felt prayers are with his family !

So sorry to hear this.. May God help his family as they go through the rough waters ... We are the Coronals where ever we live..
