My dearest and loved brother. It still hurts that you are not here. 12 years later and it still hurts. I miss you so much Jerky. Youll be happy to know that little Oscar is living with me, my family, and mommy now. Hes growing up. The stories I could tell! He likes to draw like you. I will continue to share with him about you. Chinara is doing wonderfully. You would be so proud. I havent talked to Amaria lately but she was doing pretty good too. Your children are flourishing my brother. You havent been by to see me lately but thats ok because I would probably just ball my eyes out. I will always miss you, love you, and think about you. Love you always.

Whats up O!!! Coming up on 12 years and it seems like an eternity!! Now here it is 2020 and Buggs is now with you! I dont think this legacy memory has ever shown up since you passed (if so it was years ago), but now here it is. I remember having to call Buggs to tell him you didnt make it on his birthday, 7/22 I woke him out his sleep so you know he was fussing at me lol. Buggs I see you working on comforting me, as painful as this as you know I needed this! I LOVE YOU BOTH and Ill miss you forever❤❤

Dearest O-Scars,
There is so much that I want to say! The onething that I am greatful for is that whenever we spoke and left each others presences it was nothing to say "I LOVE YOU" and "BE SAFE"..My O-SCAR's I will miss you at the table for Thanksgiving, Christmas, any occasion that we had food (smile) us telling our stories about our hiliarious childhood experiences.Whether it was you, Shervonne and I you did not see one without the other. My heart will not let me bring you to Rest. However, GOD says that I have to. We did not opt to have you taken from us someone choose for us but GOD has the last say. There are my memories that I have and they cannot be taken from me and I will share those with your beautiful daughters. You will always be in my heart there you are safe! Although I have to travel these days without you please fly by and see me as often as you can. I know that you are quite busy in heaven trying to get to know the Man in charge. But one thing is going to be constant and that is that I LOVE YOU and BE SAFE!!! P.S...Khair, Jahad and Khairi stay in constant conversation about you! I AM MISSING YOU and LOVE YOU DEARLY!!!!!
YOUR Poop-dense!

My brother, my brother. I still can't believe I buried my brother. I miss him and love him so. I don't know how I'm supposed to go on without him in my life. This is an unbearable hurt. I know my brother is with the good Lord and that he is still with us in spirit. One of the most hardest things is knowing that I will never get to look in his face, look in his eyes or hear his voice.

My brother was truly special and indeed loved by many. We will all miss him and will carry him with us in our hearts. I'd like to thank everyone for their prayers and sympathy. May God bless you all.

From the time you were a toddler one would have thought you were the Second Coming -- family members and friends were so taken with you. Often heard at events:Oh, is Oscar coming over? is Oscar coming over? Oscar, we're going to miss you, boy.

He will grant you the strength to make it through this time of sadness. I'll miss you O you'll always be in my thoughts and prayers and we'll continue to celebrate your life here on earth as you watch over us from Heaven.
You may be gone in the physical but you'll never be forgotten!

Hey Oscar,
This is Ms. Sugar. Just wanted to say that although your mission here on earth is complete, your life is not over. This is just the begining of a new chapter for you. You have now earned your wings and are now amongst the Angels smiling down on your beautiful daughters, family, and friends. I will miss you calling me "Ms. Sugar" and eating my meals. I would smile at you sometimes when you would lick your fingers during and after you finish a meal. You were also so polite. Please know that you are truly missed and that your family is in my prayers.

I won't say goodbye. Instead I'll say so you later.

Ms. Payton (Ms. Sugar)

Oscar was like a brother to me and I am going to miss him very much so. I know that he is watching over us but its still hard to believe that he is gone.

Family we may have lost a son, brother, father and a friend but we must continue to go on as he would want us to. I am going to continue to pray for us, just know that "O" is in a better place. He will be truly missed but never FORGOTTEN.

Love You & Miss You Much!!

Words can't express the pain of losing Oscar. He was a good man and friend and not a day will go by where he will not be thought of or missed to say the least.

To his family, you all are forever in my hearts and my prayers. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

I love you O Aka " O St. Market, The Fool, and my personal favorite THE DOGG" !!!!!

There are no words to express my deepest sympathy. Oscar was a wonderful person and will surely be missed. So hold on to memories for comfort, and family and friends for strength. Be assured that Christ is the God of all comfort and he is with you during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
