jEmma, Dear Emma

Emma,

Our first meeting was in 1970 when I took a macrame class and you were the most wonderful instructor.  Our lives have ben entwined in many ways over the years.  Our last meeting was about a year ago when Connie Kloepfer, Janet Olsen and I invited you to lunch, then we finished the afternoon in your lovely home - a most memorable afternoon.  You have always been admired for your beautiful artistic quilts, your one-of-a-kind art to wear, your willingness to serve in many capacities, your unlimited enthusiasm and your faithfulness in supporting others.  I am so thankful that at this time you have the support of your family and friends.  May you be comforted in your final journey from this life and find peace in the Lord as you join the others who have preceded you on this path.  You will be missed by so many family and hundreds of friends.

Love you, Jane Swenson

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.
