Emma Got Lost

In recent years, as Emma's twice a year quilt retreat roommate and
chauffeur, I benefited from our being assigned to a room JUST inside
the door of the residence hall closest to Dobbins Hall where everyone
sewed each day. You see, one year Emma and I were assigned a room in
the residence hall (there are 3) furthest from Dobbins Hall and Emma
admitted that she was having a difficult time finding our room - she
had, in fact, gotten lost. From that retreat on, I always put a
reminder on my retreat application to keep Emma's challenge in mind
and assign us to an easier room for Emma to find. I suspect Emma
never knew I did that. Carolyn Monson

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.
