I´m here on his anniversary, he was a great friend and a great person. He always did well in school and always asked if I wanted to work on class work with him. He was such a kind soul and would help me study for test and quizzes. Rest In Peace

I only knew Emerson for little time, but the years that I knew him he was amazing. He was so nice to everybody around him. I can't imagine what it must be like for his family. He was so special! It was amazing because at his funeral the church was filled to where nobody else could fit. All of these people supporting his family. He impacted so many people. It must hurt so much and I'm twelve and I can't imagine dying. It will take a while but I know we will all be ok one day. Prayers are with my family

We are so sorry for your loss. We loved to watch him play baseball when we came to watch to Jordan play. I don't know what to say to comfort you and your family. I am asking our Heaven Father to. Put his loving arms around all of you May God Bless you. Jordan grandma and grandpa.
