Emil was a very kind man and I enjoyed visiting with him when he came into the church office. Rest In Peace.

Hello: I just learned of Mr. Flink's passing. My condolences to all of your family. I visited with Mr. Flink many times when I went to Serenity Living to see my mother (who passed away in June). My husband and I recently moved to Roseburg, so it was wonderful to talk to Mr. Flink about the area. I even drove down Austin Road to look at Mr. Flink's home that he missed so much, and told him about seeing it when I was in Emmett earlier this year. He was fun to talk to and I shall miss visiting with him. Sincerely, Linda Buckmaster-Barr
