Kim and girls: I was so sorry to hear of your Dad and grandfather's passing. If he was suffering, he is in a much better place and does not have to suffer any more. It is always sad for the one's left behind. Take care, and I will keep you in my prayers. Brenda

I am very sorry to hear of Ray's passing. My dad, Joe Amos and Nathaniel were brothers and often visited when we were younger. Ray often visited with Nat and Clessie. As we grew older the Amos reunion became the few, rare times I was able to see Ray but he was a nice, gentle man. My prayers are with all his many loved ones.
