Odus loved life and was very close with his sister Mildred. He was a person who has always been there for all of us. A strong and loving man with a heart of gold, if there was a person you could count on, it was him. Thank you so much for our extended family from Hospice. They were very loving and he loved them back, Michelle Marco, for being there for him because you always put a smile on his face, Sherrie Smith and James, for being there for him at the end and the family. God has taken another angel home. We are crying tears but they are tears of happiness for knowing this great man. God needs him now.
