Dear family, my high school friend dear Emmett and so proud of you won't ever be forgotten and forever in my thoughts. He was everything I've seen posted and even more. Hold onto your memories as you remember who he is with now, and continue to bring much happiness to one another as you do good for others. That would make him very proud.

Namaste, Judy

To our dear Emmett's family, Emmett was the nicest guy I'd ever met. We graduated together in 1958 from HHS and shared our love for Audrey (sorority sisters) and her passion for art. The world was a better place due to them being in it. I didn't see Emmett in between school reunions but always made my way across the floor to say hello at each one.
My visit was a little shorter at our last yet with little effort I made the time again.
I once had a picture of you girls sitting on a rock in a Mendham park with my three kids and Barbara Lavender/Yearwood's five, all under age 8. Afterwards we had an enjoyable visit to your home for coffee and dessert. We recently lost Barbara, a dear friend of Emmett's who shared with me memories of their fun-loving young years growing up together.
I wish God's Blessings on you and all your family as you travel forward remembering and sharing the great memories you have made.
Most sincerely with love, Judy
