Emma Dear

Ted, We send our love and sympathies to you and your family.  Emma was always such a delight!  I was always interested to 'see' what she was wearing.  I admire her greatly for her extraordinary talents and her ability to share. 

  Here is a little poem that I have that makes me think of all my 'quilter friends'…

 

Life is Like a Quilt

Life is like a patchwork quilt,

And each little patch a day.

Some patches are rosy, happy and bright

And some are dark and gray.   (or B&W CheckJ)

But each little patch as it's fitted in

And sewn to keep it together,

Makes a finished block in this life of ours.

Filled with sun and rainy weather.

So – let me work on life's patchwork quilt

Thru the rainy days and sun,

Trusting that when I have finished my block

The Master may say, "Well done."

 

Truly we believe he has now said "Well done Sis. Emma"

 

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Ted, and your family.

Ralph and Jan Hathaway

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.
