You taught us to love others, to be giving and to forgive just as you did.

Omer could accomplish anything he set his mind to do. He took pride and joy in restoring antiques.

We will miss you here on earth but you will be forever in our hearts.

We want to say a special thanks to Hospice and to all of you for your visits and prayers through this time.
