"I have very fond memories of growing up with, attending school with, and hanging out with my cousin Oliver. We were both raised by God-fearing parents in strict households, and were only allowed to hang out with certain friends, and I am so grateful that Oliver was one of them. Keeping the entire family in my prayers."

May His Peace Be With You Until We Meet Again. Nigel
