Dear Cyril, Bruce, Kevin and family,
I am so sad for you. Losing a Mom is so hard. Emmi will always be with you in your hearts. I remember her as such a sweet person. I didn't know about her Toast Mistress days -wonderful! (I did that as well, so I know the kind of courage it took).
Thinking of you all, Chris Bischoff - Mar 08, 2018
