I am a longtime friend of Emmett's older brother Doug. Although I never met Emmett personally, knowing Doug makes me feel like I've known him my entire life. From my family to yours, we extend our heartfelt condolences and expressions of love. Lean on and keep God first and he will heal your spirit, one day at a time. God only wants the best in heaven and with Emmett, heaven just got that much better. We will continue to pray with you and for you. God Bless You. Charles and Karen Ratliff
