Dearest Oscar - I'll cherish the time I ran into you at Landon & Michelle's a few years back. You were as witty and hilarious as ever. Your big bear hugs will remain with me always and I know you'll have everyone in stitches up in heaven with your incredible sense of humor and your big smile. I was just telling a friend that we were the few remaining stragglers from McAllen's first GT classes who made it all the way through to the end. He asked me if you were smart. I told him you were both incredibly smart and funny. We battled HS Geometry in 8th grade and then Geometry Honors (further agonizing us) in 9th grade, all the way through Trig & Pre-Cal together senior year, sitting side by side with each retest we had to take just to pass with an 80. Math was destroying us back then. Smh. I want to remember you just as you looked the last time I saw you so I won't be at your service. I'd be terribly embarrassed if anyone sees me crying. I know you understand. I love you, friend, and I hope we get to see each other again. I'll treat you to Starbucks this time. Rest in peace, sweet boy. - Missy
