May your hearts be filled with happy memories of our dear friend Emmitt at this time of his loss. He was a great guy and always had a story for you to make you laugh. One of my greatest memories is Holly and Emmitt at the camper, she was in her little Barbie jeep and the two of them where listening to the twins game and during the break of the game the would turn on Jonny Cash. Emmitt was a great friend to everyone he met. RIP dear buddy we now you are up there watching over us.
