Susan and I were so saddened to hear this news. We loved both Emery and Paula, and especially enjoyed working with them while in the youth group. They so loved the youth and it was so evident in the zeal with which they served. You can trust the faith that they lived teaching you... Love, Danny and Susan Wyatt
