From Nada Greer

I am so grateful for the part Emma and her family have played in our lives.  Emma has always had such a keen sense of need in others an so often responded with herself and her talents and resources. 
 
I remember the time of Dianna's marriage with  my house full of company and we were having a reception here following the templing sealing  in Oakland and a luncheon in Walnut Creek with not much time in between.   Emma had  the lady that cleaned Tayos come and tidy up my house while we were in Oakland.   What a blessing and relief that was, and what a stress reliever!
 
Early on, when our friendship was new, Emma taught me how to hang wallpaper, and we did the first room together.  When we were done I thanked her, then asked, "Now, what can I do for you?"  I will always remember her response.  She said, "Just be my friend."   I wish everyone could have such a friend in their corner.  I have konw many creative people and she was definitely the MOST.  I love her.

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.
