So sorry to hear of your loss Doris! Call or message me if u need to talk! May he RIP
Uncle “A-Moose” will be missed! The last of the Effie and Red Slawson Kids… I know him and Uncle Randalle are together again teasing and making my dad mad again! 😂 I am sorry for your loss “Ant” D. I can’t imagine the loss you are going through. I love you. My cousins, I am here if y’all need anything. I love y’all!
I’m so sorry. I loved Amos. I’ll be out of town but you will be in my prayers
So sorry for you’re loss, Sharon. Praying for peace and comfort for your whole family.
My partner and I bought the house next door to remodel and rent. I spent many hours working there and we would visit. That was years ago but it didn’t take but one afternoon for me to find a real hero. He and Mrs. Slawson let us borrow water and electricity. Take comfort that he is in the care of our sweet Lord. God bless the family my prayers will be for comfort and peace.
So sorry for your loss……prayers for the family.
Amos was a great guy. Being a cousin puts you in a knowing all about each other and I must say Amos was a straight A cousin. Kind and considerate, always had a laugh at just the right time. Being just a little younger than Amos I am recognizing the brevity of it all. I find comfort in the recognition that the best is yet to come. So with that big smile and joyful person I would not be surprised to find Amos being at the front of the line serving on the Lord’s welcoming committee.
