To the entire Ott family,
My heart is with you during this time of great loss. I'm filled with sorrow for a mother and father, for a wife, and for children that will always grieve the passing of this wonderful man. I pray that God's love embraces all of you and that you will always lean on Him when you feel Kerry's absence.
My thoughts are with you during this next week, over the next few months and as the years will pass. Until you meet again, my love is with you all.

Obviously Kerry was loved by many...of course, with all the love in the world from Katey, Morgan, Coleman, & Annabelle. But before those loving years began, his Mother, Father & Sister....Nancy, Mike, & Valerie got to love him first!!! One's love never goes away & remains until eternity....A sad moment for all, but hopefully in time, his smiles, laughter, craziness & love for all of you will bring a smile to your faces to sustain what hurts so much now. We send our deepest sympathy & love. Joe & Helene LaRussa
