Ms. Wilma & family. I have fond memories of Mr. Adams from when I was a member of New Zion. I remember him sitting up there in the Deacon's chair, and like someone else mentioned, I remember when he would get happy, he would jump up and down with joy and happiness. I would see him in the grocery store sometimes and he would always speak. He was so friendly. I know your grief is deep right now, but I also know you are a family that knows the Lord. May God comfort and keep you at this difficult time.

Wilma & Family

I am so sorry to hear of your loss Bro. Adams as I know him was a tremendous and a very warm gentleman. My memory of him was seeing him down front in New Zion during devotion and when he would get happy he would flap his arms like he's flying. Now he has his own set of wings. Again, my condolences to the whole family on your loss may you be comforted at this time and know that he is with the Lord. God Bless You.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Oran at Sunrise Packaging many years ago - and he was a very inpirational man. Always a kind word for all - and always a smile for anyone that he would meet. My prayers are with your family.

I would like the family to know that Mr. Adams was a blessing to me everytime he visited the Farm Bureau office to make payments on his insurance policies. Each time he visited I used it as an opportunity to discuss the goodness of God with him. I know that he is now in Heaven enjoying all the things that God has promised.

May God Bless you all,
