Sharon, Melissa, and Melinda–and family, We are sooooo sorry to here about Emmett. What a wonderful man to know. I know it breaks your hearts to lose him but I must say one thing-Praise the Lord he is now in heaven with his savior and Anita. Wow, what a grand reunion that must have been last Thursday. If I had a way to get there I would definitely be there for his funeral, however, that is not possible so be assured that we are praying for your family and will continue to do so. Keep your eyes on the Lord and He will be with you ghrough it all.
