FW: Your mom

Your mom

It's funny how someone you don't see everday or weekly at church anymore
still has such an impact on your life. I was painting my bedroom when I
received the email from Kim to go to the blog. I just started crying. Your
parents like the rest of the "neighborhood" have been second parents to me.
I can still see myself sitting around your dining table eat meals with your
family. I loved your moms food. I loved popping in on Christmas eve during
the annual open house and looking at the beautiful things both of your
parents had made.
When I quilt, I always think about your mom.
It has been such a blessing in my life to have grown up around such a
humble, stalwart woman like your mom. Tell her and Bishop Allebes my prayers
and love are sent.
Love

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.
