Blog post

Dear Shenna,
 
I was in the Temple today and in the women's announcements I heard the news of your mother's passing.   I talked with Roberta Neilsen about it and she filled me in on some of the details.  I tried to post this on your blog but was unsuccessful at getting it to go through.
 
I was so touched in reading your post, of the tenderness and thoroughness of your communication.  I am so grateful for the few times that I was able to meet with your mother and get acquainted with such a great woman.
And...of course I felt I really knew her through you and the many walks we took together sharing our lives and events that shape us.
 
My heart is tender for you at this time.  Please know how much I love you and value our friendship.  This is a reminder that life flies so quickly.  Let's do get together when you are ready.
 
Although I know you have many loved ones here, I slipped yours and Brian's name in the Temple Roll today.  My prayers are with you.
 
Love, Dorothy

What is Your Emma Story?

This blog is a chance to remember and honor Emma by bringing us together in a way that can only be done through a medium like the internet. We love her, we will miss her, but she's here for a short time still, and we want to smile and cry and laugh together with her as much as possible while we can.

Emma has touched a monumental number of lives through her work as a mother, grandmother, friend, teacher, artist, and to Ted as a dear wife. There are countless stories that have already been told many times, and there are many others that we're going to learn for the first time as we read them here.

PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, STORIES AND PICTURES!!!

Not only will we be able to laugh and smile together, even after Emma has passed, but we will be sharing this blog with Emma. If you have a story, long or short, silly or sad, pensive or outrageous, please take some time and share it with us and Emma.

This is such a dear time for all of us. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and prayers.

It's easy! To post to Emma's blog, send an email to emmaallebes.post@blogger.com. If you have a picture(s) that you would like to add, make it an attachment to the email. Your email will post automatically.

Please remember to include your name somewhere in the email/post.
