Condolences to my Classmate Mrs. Betty Jane Conway and to the Conway family including my Nephew Ken Conway. We enjoyed the presence of Ozell at our class gatherings. He loved to talk about his days at Lee County Training School. He is going to be missed.
Uncle Ozell, you're really going to be missed. My grandmother truly loved you and she will truly miss you. I remember seeing you when I lived in Opelika and you would always ask me " how's my sister Sarah, tell her I said hello." We would stand there and talk for awhile about you and her. I will treasure the memories I have of you until we meet again my dear Uncle. 💔🥲
Rest in PEACE uncle #O"
