Sincere condolences and prayers to my family on the transition of Cousin Clyde. He was a joy to the Emmanuel Church School class when he attended before becoming ill and unable to attend. He and cousin Lizzie would make their way in from the church bus with such welcoming smiles. I will always remember his smile and giving me a hug. God's unconditional love and prayers during this time of transition.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
