So sorry to hear about Otis, but he is with Jesus now and out of pain. Even though, he was only my uncle by marriage to my aunt, Camilla, I loved him as my uncle.

Please accept our sincerest sympathy in the loss of as I always called him, Uncle Otis. He was a quiet, gentle man who loved those he knew. My heart goes out to Ezra Roberson for devoting the last years to taking care of Uncle Otis, as well as Stephanie Roberson who stayed at his home to be sure he was safe. As to Charles and Grace Roberson, Naomi and Sarah, I know you all will miss his company. We can rest now knowing he's healed and safe in the arms of Jesus. Please take comfort that you all did as he wished and I truly feel Gid will bless you. To his children and grandchildren, please know we are praying for all of you during this difficult time. May God be with each of you.
