Osano was one of my friends. He was a good kid but he had a lot of problems and grew up pretty much with out his mother. He lived on the streets many times. But he could always make someone laugh or cheer you up. He wrote and sang songs for me. He was always writing poetry and dancing. These are the things he did all the time for fun. I will always remember him as one of the best friends I have ever had and wll ever have. So R.I.P. Osano M.H.K. Dallas. I love you.
