Dear Connie, We are traveling at present and have heard the news of Emmett's passing. We send our deepest sympathy to you and the family. We know that Emmett is with the Lord, but we also know that his place at home will now be empty. We remember a man deeply admired for the stand that he took for the gospel. He stood a separated believer when so many compromised. I compare him to Samuel Rutherford, who suffered for his stand. I will close off with two verses from Immanuel's Land which I think epitomize Emmett's Testimony "I have wrestled on toward heaven against storm and wind and tide, Then Like a weary traveler that leans upon His guide, Amid the shades of evening while sinks life's lingering sand, I'll hail the glory dawning in Immanuel's land. I will not gaze on Glory but on my King of Grace, Not at the Crown He giveth but on his pierced hand, For the Lamb is all the Glory in Immanuel's Land. " We will be Praying for you! To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
