English: With the news of Oscar's passing yesterday, my love is with his wife, Firdaus; Natasha, his daughter; all his extended family and friends; his friends in the Conservative group and all other friends. I met Oscar and Natasha in 2011, and we saw each other on several occasions prior to my election in 2016. Oscar immediately congratulated me, warmly welcomed me to the Senedd, reaching out the hand of friendship, as he did to all he met. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we would often meet in the tea room, and it became a routine for us to buy each other lunch and sit together having tea. We talked about our families and he was immensely proud of his daughter, Natasha. A proud family man. We soon discovered that we both liked visiting market stalls, looking for second-hand jewellery, trinkets and antiques. And when either of us had a good deal, we brought items in to compare, and he loved a bargain, as did I. If we fancied an item that the other had, we sold it to one another. On one occasion, such was Oscar's honesty and integrity, when a stall holder offered him a weighty silver trinket for £30, Oscar immediately inspected the hallmark and, to the surprise of the stall holder, he said, 'My friend, I would love to give you £30 for this, but I think the correct price should be £200, as it's platinum, not silver.' He brought that trinket proudly in to show me and explained the story. Oscar served his constituents with the love, compassion and generosity that he showed to everyone he met. He was dedicated to his role, and found much comfort and support from his Conservative colleagues, as he told me on several occasions. I have lost a friend in the tea room and, somehow, it will not have the same feeling. We had planned to visit Abergavenny market together, and I am sad that that visit will now be alone. But I'm sure that if I stop at a stall, with a view of purchasing anything there, there will be a voice behind me saying, 'No, Caroline, don't pick that one, pick the one next to it, because you'll have a much better deal.' Rest in peace, my friend, because you made so many lives better for knowing you. Division was not in your vocabulary and you treated all the same. Thank you.
Welsh: Yn sgil clywed y newyddion am farwolaeth Oscar ddoe, rwy'n estyn fy nghariad at ei wraig, Firdaus; Natasha, ei ferch; ei deulu estynedig a'i gyfeillion; ei gyfeillion yn y grŵp Ceidwadol a phob cyfaill arall. Fe wnes i gyfarfod Oscar a Natasha yn 2011, a gwelsom ein gilydd droeon cyn imi gael fy ethol yn 2016. Cefais fy llongyfarch yn syth gan Oscar, a chefais fy nghroesawu'n gynnes i'r Senedd, wrth iddo estyn llaw cyfeillgarwch, fel y gwnaeth i bawb a gyfarfu. Ar ddydd Mawrth a dydd Mercher, byddem yn aml yn cyfarfod yn yr ystafell de, a daeth yn arfer i ni brynu cinio i'n gilydd ac eistedd gyda'n gilydd yn yfed te. Buom yn siarad am ein teuluoedd ac roedd yn hynod falch o'i ferch, Natasha. Dyn teulu balch. Dyna ganfod yn fuan fod y ddau ohonom ni'n hoffi ymweld â stondinau marchnad, gan chwilio am emwaith ail-law, tlysau a hen bethau. A phan oedd y naill neu'r llall ohonom wedi cael bargen dda, daethom ag eitemau i mewn i'w cymharu, ac roedd yn hoff iawn o fargen, fel yr oeddwn i. Pe baem yn ffansïo eitem oedd yn eiddo i'r llall, fe'i gwerthwyd i'r naill a'r llall. Gymaint oedd gonestrwydd ac uniondeb Oscar, pan gynigiodd stondinwr dlws arian trwm iddo am £30, fe astudiodd Oscar y dilysnod yn syth ac, er syndod i'r stondinwr, dywedodd, 'Fy nghyfaill, byddwn wrth fy modd yn rhoi £30 i chi am hwn, ond rwy'n credu y dylai'r pris cywir fod yn £200, gan ei fod yn blatinwm nid arian'. Daeth â'r tlws hwnnw i ddangos i mi yn llawn balchder gan egluro'r stori. Bu Oscar yn gwasanaethu ei etholwyr gyda'r cariad, y tosturi a'r haelioni a ddangosodd at bawb y cyfarfu â nhw. Roedd yn ymroddedig i'w swyddogaeth, a chafodd lawer o gysur a chefnogaeth gan ei gyd-Aelodau Ceidwadol, fel y dywedodd wrthyf droeon. Rwyf wedi colli cyfaill yn yr ystafell de a, rywsut, ni fydd yr un teimlad yno. Roeddem ni wedi bwriadu ymweld â marchnad y Fenni gyda'n gilydd, ac rwy'n drist y byddaf ar fy mhen fy hun ar yr ymweliad hwnnw nawr. Ond rwy'n siŵr, os byddaf yn aros ger stondin, gyda'r bwriad o brynu unrhyw beth yno, bydd llais y tu ôl i mi yn dweud, 'Na, Caroline, peidiwch â dewis hwnna, dewiswch yr un nesaf ato, oherwydd cewch fargen well o lawer.' Gorffwyswch mewn hedd, fy nghyfaill, oherwydd mae gymaint o fywydau wedi elwa yn sgil eich adnabod. Nid oedd ymrannu yn eich geirfa ac fe wnaethoch chi drin pawb yr un fath. Diolch.
