So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
We are sorry to hear about Otis. Praying for strength in abundance. God is able.
Phil 4:13
I've known Otis for over 30 years and met him at our local John Deere dealership many years ago. He went above and beyond to help JD customers, was always friendly and basically was a carbon copy of his dad. My prayers go out to his entire family and I know he be sorely missed by them as well as all his friends...And he had many....
Sorry for your loss Mr. Otis was a great man. The family is in my prayers. God bless each of you.
