I don’t remember this Dr. Osborn as much as I remember his parents. They both played a big part of my growing up years.
The Prayer Link 
Dr. Osborn was one of the most compassionate person I have ever known. A thorough physician. He and his family were great friends of my family. The Glynn family is lifting the Osborn family in their prayers.
Knowing his family, I expected he was very special too. Thank-you for sharing.
