My dearest cousin Ozzie. What a beautiful time we shared when you, your wife and Sister Linda came to Florida to help us during my father passing, your uncle Hector. I saw a side of you that was so endearing and so caring. How could we ever forget you. You are now in a place that there is no pain; only blissful eternal life. You will be missed and we will continue to rejoice in your physical life with us, until when we meet again in God’s kingdoms, Much love and peace to your family.❤️❤️
