My heart truely goes out to the family. I didn't know Omar as well as some, but I remember when I first met him, every time beyond that point I would see him smiling. And thats the way I remember him just smiling. The reason his smile will be remembered because I could tell how sincere his smile was, I could feel a warmth in his smile, even on my worst days I would walk into Harvey's and see him just smiling and he would speak to me and within those few moments I had forgot about what it was I was down about that day. Although I find myself asking and wondering why, I simply tell myself this is the work of God and God has called for another one of his angels to come home...may he rest in peace. - Ophelia Waters & Family(Monday, September 03 12 09:54 am EDT)

A precious jewel from us has gone. But rest assure, he's not alone. He quietly rests in a comfortable nest. Resting gentlely in JESUS' arms. I pray you find peace in knowing he was loved and had a love for Jesus. Keep reading the word of God for peace and understand. Omar will greatly be missed. - Percillia Arnett(Monday, September 03 12 09:49 am EDT)
