A wonderful man was Emmet Fowler, Jr. He and his deceased wife and family were very good friends of mine and wonderful christians serving in the same church. My sympathy to the family. Emmet has joined Judy in the church triumphant. Praise God!
I am so happy for having been a friend of all the Fowler family. God bless you!
