I love this family. Donna in Ohio

September 19, 2016

I just found out that he and Lil had moved to heaven. I was sadden by the news. The family sang at the church I attended as a little girl. I met Kay and Brenda when they came along. A wonderful man of God and Lil had a heart of gold. I will miss Otis preaching the Word of God most of all. I was the little blond girl who would sit in our window to watch for their arrival at Ted and Mae's on Stacey Road in Sandusky, Ohio. I will never forget him. I just wish I could have heard him one more time. To Kay and Brenda, I am so sorry for your loss. Donna (Robinson) Pocock
