I was the same age as Kevin in the 5th grade we were in Mrs. STONeHOCKERS CLASS LEARNING ABOUT BUSINESS OMAR AND HIS MOTHER CaME TO OUR CLASS AND jOINED INTO THE ACTIVITIES. THE MOST MEMORABLE THOUGHT IS THAT OMAR TRULY LOOKED UP TO HIS BIG BROTHER KEVIN, AND HAD A SMILE WHEN KEVIN WOULD TEND TO HIM. WE ALL ENJOYED LITTLE OMAR IN OUR CLASS. HIS UNIQUE NAME IS A MEMORABLE SMILE ALSO. SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
