Sara, Emmett was the best. I'm so sorry to hear about his passing. I don't know where I would have been in my career if it were not for him. He was my only sponsor that helped me get into the contracting career field when I was a mere secretary while we were in MMMRF in 1984. I will always be indebted to him. Sandra Womack

Gay Burnette

February 28, 2011

Sara, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Emmett was a good man and loved you dearly. When I was his secretary back in the 70's, I remember being very nervous when meeting "the higher ups", and I'll NEVER forget what he said to me. He told me "they are no better than you, so hold your head high and don't be afraid." That has stuck with me all of these years. I am thankful for his thoughtfulness not only as a boss but also as a friend. May God be with you and your family at this most difficult time.

February 28, 2011

Jean, my condolescenses are with you at the loss of your brother. Death is not easy to take, but with the help of the Lord you will get through it. The period of mourning is not easy to bear.
