Praying for family and friends for comfort, Amos was a great man always put a smile on my face when I seen him at church before he got put in the nursing home. When I worked at the nursing home with him he would always have a smile on his face and it would put a smile on my face as well.

Words escape me when it comes to Amos except to say he filled my heart with love…and his stories…those magical stories 🥰 included everything from he as a boy to his time in service.
I’ll not mourn his death rather I’ll celebrate his life and the joy he brought to my life 🥰

I am sorry to hear of his passing. I have fond memories of him. I remember Amos pastoring Morning Star Baptist church when I was a little girl. We would go to church some out there and I thought he was a kind man and always nice to my dad (R.C. Reid). He was married to my granny Reid’s sister Madge and I remember them visiting granny occasionally. They always seemed happy. He was a good man. Prayers for the family.
