"He who knows and knows he knows, He is Wise, Follow Him." I will always remember Pop reciting the lines of this poem continuously. Pop was a wise man, so let us follow the examples that he lovingly left for us. He will be missed here, but welcomed in that place that God has prepared for him. You are in my prayers.

To the entire Anderson family,on behalf of Mrs. Frankie Square, Kimberly Square-Wilson, and Leo Square Jr-We are sorry for the loss of your father. Mr. Emerson was close friends with My dad, the late Leo Square Sr. and all my uncles. Nothing in the world can prepare you for this, but know God will get you through it. He does not have to deal with the trouble of the world no more, and he is with our heavenly father now.

"In Heaven, each of us will have a special place to live. Before Jesus left this earth, He told His followers that He would prepare a place for them and all believers in the hereafter. "In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" (John 14:2,3). One of these days, we're going to own a mansion that isn't going to cost us anything -- no upkeep, no expenses!--David Brandt Berg
