I am sadden to hear of the passing of Oran. Our families lived "down the road" from each other and though not in the same graduating class, we attended Cottondale High School together. To Mrs. Eva, Anthony, Bura, Fitzhugh and Meldra I offer my prayers and sincere condolences. May God give you strength and grant you peace during this time.
