To Marian, Nancy, Margaret, Sallie, and to your families: I am truly saddened and shocked to learn of Albert's death. I have so many fond memories of your family at Camp Dan Valley...of Albert's enacting Jesus "walking on water" and telling the wind, "peace, be still". The campers were so amazed, mostly, except for the ones who figured out it was Mr. King's old wooden ladder held up just under the water's surface by two other counselors. Oh my, what you Osbornes did to nurture the theological "development" of so many kids! I remember Albert as fun-loving and compassionate, even when he scared kids to death with his stories of the Wompass Cat of Chinqua Penn Farm, and his twirling the Wompass Cat caller in the dark of night from the middle of the ball field. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. My heart goes out to all of you. Take care. May the peace of Christ be with you all.

So sorry to hear of yet another Osborne cousin passing. Our family continues to shrink as the years go by. What wonderful memories we all have from the "Homeplace" when we were all kids.
Marian, Nancy, Margaret, And Sally--Our prayers are with you.

To The Osborne Family,
The memories of time with your family down through the years are some of the most special thought I have. From days of doing laundry at Pete Davis' with your Mother to the wrestling team at Morehead High. Please know I love each of you and will be praying for you as you go through this time.
