For Shenna and Emma's other family

My friend Lu Hubbard forwarded the e-mail about Emma's passing.  I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  Emma and I shared many things through quilting and the Sacramento Quilters Guild, and her talent and personality will never be forgotten.  Since my husband Eugene and I moved to Oregon four years ago and then to Oklahoma just a year ago, I've not been able to attend the meetings and/or be involved in California quilting, and we do miss our friends in that area.  We are still involved in the quilt world, and are planning a trip to Houston next week.  I had thought about Emma just a few days ago and wondered if I'd see her there, as she so loved going to that show.  Her presence will be missed by many, and especially those in the quilting world.  Please know that you and the family are in our prayers at this difficult time.

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.
