I have no words to express the way this took me by total surprise, I knew OJ, from back in the day, he was such a good friend to me, it really broke my heart to hear about his passing, but trust and believe God do not make mistakes, God only request the best of the best to join his Army of Angels, and I know you have golden wings OJ. RIP my longtime friend until we meet again.

Papa, I love and miss you dearly. I saw you the day before you died and just wish I would've took advantage of it, but of course no one would have guessed this. You were a healthy, caring grandfather and always made me smile. Rest in peace and I know you're watching over me. Love, your granddaughter.
