Emma and the Circle of Friends

Your mother helped to get the Circle of Friends quilting group started,
about three years ago, I think. It started out with mostly Folsom Quilt
Guild members who lived in Fair Oaks, and we called ourselves the
FOFO's--the Fair Oaks Fabulous Optimists. We didn't really like this name,
so we changed it to the Circle of Friends. We all send our love and prayers
to your mom and her family. We love Emma very much and will miss her
terribly.

Once a month we gather, in a member's home, to sew or just chat, and to help
each other with our projects. Your mother's advice has always been
respected and appreciated. Show and tell has always been the most fun with
this group; and you can imagine how we all have loved the times when we
could meet at your parents' home, and enjoy your father's artwork as well as
your mother's beautiful creations. Recently, we met at your parents' home
and had a tour of the vegetable garden--also a beautiful creation! We got a
kick out of the explanation of putting the red plastic under the tomato
plants to encourage the tomatoes to turn red!

With love to you and your family,

Judy Snook

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.
