What we remember most about him was his love for God, his family, and people. We are so glad that we got to visit with him just one month ago. We are not saying "Good-bye" but "Good night". We will see you in the morning.

I lived just a few houses down from Emmett in Oklahoma City when he was a kid. I was about 6 years older than him, but remember him and all the neighborhood kids playing up and down the street. Sending my prayers from Oklahoma City to his family.
