I would like to send my condolences to the Ott family. In this time of sorrow we want to lift up our thoughts to God and thank him for taking another angle with him so that he is now out of his pain and suffering. If it be the will of God we will all meet on our given day in Heaven. Rest in peace William. May God Bless each and every one in this family now and forever.
