Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Mary Lou and Trey, my heart aches for you both. Otto was the best! I will forever be thankful for his friendship (and opportunity to enjoy his delicious desserts!). May the many beautiful memories you have give you comfort in the days, weeks & years ahead. With love & prayers.
