I will never forget Friday nights in the Showcase cleaning the kitchen and dancing to Wipeout, and listening to Little River Band while we cooked together on Sundays.
Oshey and I had some great times together, memories that will last a lifetime.
Cindy and Rodney, my heart breaks for you. I hope knowing that people loved Oshey so much, and love both of you, is a comfort to you.

I am sure going to miss Oshey. Sometimes, there are just some friends on this earth that are such a joy and treasure to know. She was one of these for me… She always made me laugh, and was such a sweet friend to me. I met Oshey at church… She loved God with all of her heart. Even though I never met her kids, I almost felt like I knew them because of how much she loved and talked about them … and her grandkids! She would light up with the biggest smile when she would talk about them. I’m going to miss her sweet texts and phone calls, but I am thankful that I will see her again someday! My prayers are with all of her family!!!
