Message to Emma

Dearest Emma:

I am in Utah visiting children and grandchildren.  I was Shocked and saddened to hear of your illness,.    I hope you and your family have a wonderful memory session together.  I wish I were there to drop by and visit with you  and thank you personally for the great influence you have had in my life.  We shared some pleasant times when our husbands worked closely together in their church callings.  I have always admired your artistic talents and loved to bring friends by to see your exquisite quilts.  What  a beautiful, visual legacy you will leave your children and grandchildren who are fortunate to own one of your quilts.

I'd like to thank you and Ted for your recent help in designing a quilt for my grand daughter.  My ideas turned out to be beyond my means and I had to go to plan  "B".  But you and Ted spent much time helping me and I  appreciated all your help.  You two make a wonderful talented artistic team.

I also enjoyed our association in our Relief Society   book club.  Your insight was very interesting. 

Emma, you have been a wonderful example of love and kindness and extended yourself in unselfish service.  

I love you and will miss you greatly.  May God Bless you and your family.

                                         Sincerely,   Coleen

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.
