Emma's Memorial Service

To the Entire Allebes Family,

Emma's memorial service was just wonderful. It was at once sweet,
tearful, uplifting and hilarious! Shenna, you were an inspiration.
Your encapsulated stories of your mother and father's life together,
combined with your own (and sisters' stories) were wonderful.
Heather, thanks for the "tissue breaks." I used them (and more).

And the CHECKERED RIBBONS! You found them, or your dad made them,
but there they were in all their glory! They made the day all the
more perfect for Emma and those of us who attended the service.

Emma's last desires were truly delivered by all who loved her,
including the Higher Power. And she so deserved it, for she was
truly the "angel" your dad saw all those many years ago. She spread
love to all she came in contact with during her stay on this earth.
And like your dad, we're all so much the better for it.

God Bless,

Liz Thayer

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.
