The following is a letter of condolence I published on her memorial site at: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/sarrah-amos-obituary?pid=152686694&view=guestbook&utm_source=MarketingCloud&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=GBAnniversaryEmail_PowerInbox_NOCLIO_TREES_Neustar&utm_term=AddtoGuestBook&utm_content=71922&utm_id=a9c95cfd-7c4e-4c0a-b14c-df3c5d03dd22&sfmc_id=130386797&sfmc_activityid=677791ca-0a37-4ad1-be2e-834423f7ae18&utm_source=MarketingCloud&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=GBAnniversaryEmail_PowerInbox_NOCLIO_TREES_Neustar&utm_content=AddtoGuestBook&sfmc_id=130386797
I will miss you Dear Cousin. Sarrah belonged to our family web site, and here is the last communication we shared there:
My Cousin (and yours) Sarrah is the one who introduced me to genealogy, and sparked my interest. I decided one day to google the name of my Grandfather (Calvin Lafayette Sanders). Before that, I did not know anything about my ancestry, and always joked that they were probably road agents, cut purses, and horse thieves. Low and behold, I actually found his name, and the name of a researcher, my Cousin Sarrah. I contacted her, and (after proving I was related via my father's birth certificate) she commenced to educate me on the history of our family. She filled my head with visions of Revolutionary Patriots (on our Hooper side), and took me from the ramparts at The Battle of New Orleans where one of our Sanders Grandfathers lost his life, to very beginnings of Texas where a dashing cavalryman fought in it's war for Independence from Mexico and served in their first congress. Where his grandson Richard (Sarrah's and my Great Grandfather) fought the Mexicans again as a U.S. Cavalryman in the Mexican War and then in the Civil War as a cavalryman sans horse for the Confederacy. All of this new and heady information about our heroic ancestors gave me a new source of pride and a personal tie to American History. I bask in their past glory's and brag them up at the drop of a hat. Sarrah introduced me to Cousin Gary, and through him I had my DNA tested and found other cousins (some of you here) and learned of even more famous Sanders and related families. Because of Sarrah, I have a family I never knew about, a deepened pride in America, and a hobby that non relatives probably cross the street to avoid hearing about :o)
. Sarrah is in hospice care right now, but is still active in her quest for our family roots. I love you Sarrah, and thank you for your generosity and friendship.

Thank you chuck for your kind comments, started out family history in 1998 with first computer, by a simple question to husband Charles by our son as to his grandfathers name. low and behold posted on the Amos site , James Beveryl Amos born Georgia and in 3 days got a geneology report on the whole Amos clan from one of Charles distant cousins in Montgomery Ala, 30 pages of documented information that this cousin had been working on 30 years., therefore I got a "leg Up" also.
Love doing this geneology "stuff" and as you say when I start talking to family, the eyes glaze over LOL
anyway thanks Chuck for being a "favorite" cousin.
