Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

My mother and iI offer our sincerest condolences to the family of Odell Ross Pollard. We were shocked to hear of her passing. Ms. Pollard would call my mother 2-3 times a day to check on her and would call me if she was unable to reach her. If for some reason she missed her morning call my mother would tell me, "I haven't heard from Odel today".

My mother was very good friends with Odel's mother, whom she refers to as one of the nicest people she every knew. That friendship extended to Odel for which she felt the same about. We both feel that we have lost a member of our family. As I said earlier we were shocked to hear of her passing just yesterday. She had a heart of gold. May she Rest In Peace.
