One of the best men I ever met in my life. I will miss you Amos.
Daddy, what a man of God you were. The song, “Thank You For Giving to the Lord” could have been written for you. You now have a perfect body! See you in Heaven, Daddy.
Judy, my heart continues to ache when I think your one in a million
dad as well as my mom & dad. Your dad Amos was a gift to both sides of my family with Aunt Ollie being my Gpa Mahan’s sister and Uncle Bert on Grandpa Quick’s side. Your Dad led me to the real Jesus! I wouldn’t have survived without that relationship. Please share with your family that any of you are always welcomed to our home. If you need help and I am able to, I will be there.
Please come see me when you are in the area. Or just come and see me!
