Dr. Embry was our family doctor the entire time we were growing up. He will always have a special place in my heart because he saved my mom and my baby sisters when none of them was expected to live. He was an awesome family doctor.

My husband was a patient of Dr. Embry when we married. His mother, Nettie Decker, thought no one could help her family medically unless it was Dr. Embry or someone he recommended. Dr. Embry was a good doctor and always treated my husband and me with great respect and care. Sorry for your loss. Hope these words of remembrance of his work are comforting to you.
