Sorry about your loss.our prayers are with you and family.
O.B. was a wonderful neighbor and a precious man of God. He loved his beautiful wife, Rose, with all his heart and I’m sure they are having a sweet reunion in heaven. He’s happy now…he missed her so much.
O.B. and his wife Rose were the most wonderful neighbors I have ever had. As someone who lived across the street from them for many years I witnessed how much they loved each other and their families (as those grandkids). O.B. was an outstanding Christian man who taught others by the example he set.
