OMG! Angela and Family, I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. Just on Facebook and found out about Oscar's passing. I am proud of you getting out because it helps. I remember the tailgate parties under the overpass and how much fun we had serving the dinners to whomever got in line to eat. After Ronnie's passing, the pain was too much to attend the tailgate and games. Angela, you are an inspiration for me. We must make contact. Please know that I am praying with and for you and your family for understanding and acceptance. Much love and continue to live your life displaying that beautiful smile that Oscar placed on your face!

Angela,
My heartfelt sympathies are with you and your family at the loss of your loving husband. Please accept my condolences for the loss of Oscar. He was a kind and thoughtful man with a wonderful spirit.
Met you through Nina and Jimmy and was glad that she introduced me to you both. Spent time with you both at a Superbowl party at the hall; had a great time in your presence. My brother and his wife ended up at that party, because they were a member of that tailgating club with "Big O".
Small world indeed. Whenever I came to town and Oscar saw me, he would make sure to ask me did I go see my friend Nina. Know he will be missed by many, since I only met him and you later in life, yet you both made an impression on me. My cousin shared this photo of you both with me. Thought it captured your bond.
May the Lord comfort and keep you, his children, relatives, and friends of the family.

What a special man and friend. Every time we worked with Oscar it was a privilege. He took such good care of all of us in craft service and no once can ever take his place for us. There was never a request too small for him to give it his attention. Big O was so clever in always finding a solution and we always knew we were taken good care of in our department. I know I'll see you in heaven my brother. Honoring you and Missing you! Liz Landers

Angela, words cannot express how I am feeling right now. You and Big O have been there for me since Wallace passed away in 2018. You have shown me so much love. I still can’t believe it. Just know that I am here for you. You have so many pictures and fond memories to cherish. I know how you are feeling, but just know that God will take care of you. Just cast your cares upon Him and He will see you through. I love you and will be praying for you and the family.

Ms. A did her thing with the decorations, yes God has always had better plans for his chosen ones.
