I had the privilege, pleasure, and honor to partner with Emily when she was a VP at MFI to develop and execute an industry-leading mystery shop and compliance audit program for a Fortune 500 firm in the financial services space. The relationship has lasted for over a decade now - an eternity in this modern world of transactional business. I credit Emily and her unique blend of professionalism and personal connection for forging that bond with our company.

Emily was simply the very best in her industry. Nobody else compared. She was and remains the platinum standard. I am saddened by her loss, but blessed by having known her. I could go on about her, but I will conclude by saying that I have never found a better partner for my business; nor a more wise and well-spoken friend.

I was sad to hear of Emily´s passing. I am Craig´s cousin, Amy Halvorson. I so enjoyed Emily! I saw her last at Craig´s dad´s funeral. Emily seemed to be having her own struggles at that time, but managed to give me some really beautiful hope and encouragement during a tough time in my own life. I´m sending lots of love to you and your family!
